They asked me if drinking is allowed is Islam and I said it is Haram, however they asked me if it is ok to take drugs like weed and cocaine and I accidentally said it is ok to take drugs realizing later that I made a mistake and gave wrong advice as you are not allowed to take anything that can harm the body in Islam.

My married nand is also living with us as her husband is in saudia. She is a working woman. When she goes for work , my father in law takes her 3 year old daughter and I have seen him doing real bad things with this girl. My other two dewranis have also seen him doing bad stuff with goat that we have. Two other minor girls of house are also witness that their grandfather touches them on private parts. If I inform my husband, or any other person at home, I fear divorce. I am already divorced and this is my second marriage. These people are very far away from deen, they think the father is pious and can not commit any sin. If I don't tell, I feel guilty. What should I do?
