Q: My mother is divorced due to 30 years of abuse. My father abuses me and my sisters as well. She is remarried now. My sisters wants to live with my mother as our father hurts us and breaks our souls down and our minds. Is it permissible for us to live with my mother as her husband is a very good man Alhamdulilah?

A: If he is correcting you for the right reasons then it is not right for you to leave him. But if it is that he is misguiding you and you cannot tolerate his abuse then you may move on with your mother provided your step father is also in agreement.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
