My sister, who struggles with a mental disorder, was mistreated by her husband for over a year - emotionally, financially, and psychologically. She recently filed for divorce with my dad’s help after being kicked out, but her husband is now trying to get her back without acknowledging his mistakes. We suspect he only wants to reconcile temporarily to protect his immigration status.\\n\\nMy friend originally introduced him to my sister since he is her brother-in-law, and I feel my sister may be manipulated again. Would it cross any Islamic boundaries if I warn my friend about his abusive and deceitful behavior so she can help watch out for my sister?\\n\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"If the situation is as you described, you should advise your sister, dad, friend, and anyone else who can help your sister. Abuse is munkar (evil) and we are obligated to address evil to the best of our abilities, as the Prophet ﷺ taught us to do. Also, if your sister is not mentally competent to make decisions, then you should urge your dad and other family elders to step in and help her.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668da0150b76658b4c232daf","tag":"Relationships: Spouse","count":42},{"_id":"668da0830b76658b4c23393f","tag":"Relationships: Sibling","count":29},{"_id":"668d9ff10b76658b4c2329bc","tag":"Marriage: Divorce","count":24}],"createdOn":"2025-10-16T15:32:54.848Z"}
