Question:
Asalamu Alaykum,
I know it’s ugly and very untraditional for a 21 year old girl to live on her own, but I feel I have no other choice.
My beloved father Allah Yirhamu passed away 4 years ago. Don’t get along with siblings. Mothers made clear she doesn’t want me, brother hits/calls me names (understandable if I did something wrong). Brother even used to torment my late father, tease his beard and his dedication to Islam. Grandfather overseas advised me to live with him, he’s a wise scholar whom I love/would learn a lot from. But brother threatened him. I’d never put him in such a situation.
Found a safe apartment here in Sydney and I’ll never forget my Father and the morals he taught me. Is it haram to leave?
Thanks for your time, may Allah SWT grant us happiness in this life and the next.
Kind regards,
Sister

Alaykum Salam,
You chose the lesser of two evils but try to find a good husband and community that will bring back your heart to its original softness with trust and love of Allah Most High.
