My father is very abusive and does not miss an opportunity to belittle me. I do everything he expects of me but I am really worried about how much more I can take. What should I do?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No matter how bad, abusive and insulting your father is, you must tolerate and behave well with him. He is not worse that a Kafir parent, and we read in Quran and Hadeeth to treat non Muslim parents nicely and talk to them nicely.

Never alter  a word which can make him unhappy.

Be patient and tolerant whatever he says.

Your reward will be great iA.

If the father gave the authority of spouse selection to his mature and working daughter and made it clear that he will happily accept her choice, can the girl do temporary marriage with a guy she wants without any further consent of her father?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It depends on the father's statement whether he meant giving her the full choice to marry whom ever she selects in Nikah or Mut'ah marriage.

If he was meaning permanent marriage Nikah only, then she still needs her  father's permission for Mut'ah.

I got to know someone is doing black magic on my father to destroy him and his family. What can I do to remove the effects from him?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

First if all you should have concrete evidence against that person before accusing him of doing black magic, then another concrete evidence that he is doing it against your father. Before have such concrete evidence against that person, you might fall in a major sin of putting allegation on that person.

You have no right to tell any one about what you think about that person before having the concrete evidence against him.

As far as the black magic which you think is done against your father and his family, the remedy is the same whether it was really done by any one or not. Even if it was not done, it is useful to protect your family by the same recitations which are: Sura Al-Falaq and Sura A-Naas to be recited after every prayer and before going to bed three times, as well as Ayatul Kursi. Sadaqa is also very useful in protection from evil.

Is it allowed to ask your father to help you with housework?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is not allowed at all to cause any type of insult or disrespect to your parents. You should always serve your parents, and not to ask them to work at home.

We should treat and serve our parents with full respect like we treat and serve a king or a queen. Obviously, you will never ask a king or a queen to help with housework.
Wassalam.
