Assisting someone who practices sihr

Q: I need to know what is the ruling regarding a man giving money to a female knowing fair well that she uses the money to practise sihr. There is evidence in which she has admitted it and the person has forwarded messages. Also this man is no longer married to this female but financially supports her but doesn't support his wife.

Relatives worshipping snakes

Q: Our relatives mostly are hypocrites. Sometimes they openly say that they worship snakes etc... And also mention that they have jinn's (supernatural powers), they say that they instruct that power to do work and it will happen for real! They know that Alhamdulillah we will never go in these acts what they are doing, there is always like a competition between them and us, although we read muawwazatein, aayatul kursi, aamanar rasulu, sure kahf for protective purpose. After we meet them, at least one of us suffers severe headache, and bone pains and back pain like our bones are crushing and muscles are twisting. It happens for the entire night. The next day we will be normal. Also, they don't have manners, before they come to our home (without informing us), any member of our family opens the door for any work, they just come into the room and sit down. They sometimes give us a warning that "see that one hadn't obeyed us and now he is suffering from this disease" they always warn us like that, before they arrive or after they go from our home, my parents always fight (very harshly).  I ask you for a powerful dua from the Quran and hadith which resist's all the bad powers from the hypocrites and their supernatural attackings.

Having unlawful relations with one's aunt, her daughter and her daughter in law

Q:

1. If someone had unlawful acts/relations more than one time/many times, with his married paternal aunt (father's sister) and then with the same paternal aunts' daughter in law (son's wife). Also with same paternal aunt's daughter. His actions were such that perhaps hurmat maybe established, meaning anything but not actual zina. He is a single adult and lives away from them. What is the status of the marriages of his marries parental aunt, the same aunt's daughter in law and the same aunt's daughter? He has asked someone, and being told all of them's marriages are still valid.

2. Also, how to repent in this case? Mufti Taqi Usmani says, you can seek forgiveness from Allah Ta'ala by making sincere repentance, then you should have hope and forget your past sins, trust Allah's mercy... Allah's mercy is so vast, he can and does forgive any sin, no matter what.
