What actions can I take as a sister if I observe my parents making poor decisions regarding my brother and not holding him accountable, despite having discussed with them my concerns about the impact of their choices on his life?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You as a sister, have to power nor authority on your brother's life. The best you can do is advising him in a nice way which can be accepted by him. As far as your parents decisions, you should keep full respect for them and if you have a suggestion, you should be very polite in presenting your suggestions to your parents. If you feel that their decisions regarding your brother's life are not correct, you try to explain your opinion to them in a very polite way and you can request respected other family members to talk to your parents in a nice way.

You need to feed or clothe ten poor believers, and if you can not, then fast three days.

What can be done if a sister from a different background wants to marry someone who is rejected by her family based on cultural, heritage, and sectarian differences, even though the reasons are invalid due to Islamic principles?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

We should support everyone especially Muslims who need our support. In this case, it is good to try to convince her family to accept the proposal.

What should you do if your sister's husband behaves inappropriately with you, but your mother and sister insist on maintaining a good relationship with him for the sake of your sister's happiness?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You should avoid any inappropriate situation with any one but you don’t need to create a problem in the family. Keep yourself away from any inappropriate situation which might lead to sinful act or sinful thought, but don’t inform others who can create a problem in your family.

Wassalam.
