Is maintaining family ties by offering the salam sufficient without visiting the homes, if the mother is a Rafidah?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner says: My father is not pleased with me because I do not visit my uncle in his home. This is because my mother has forbidden me from doing so for certain reasons. However, whenever I see my uncle at an occasion or in the mosque, I kiss his head, and I hold nothing against him in my heart. But if I go to his home, my mother will be angry with me. So please issue a ruling for us, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
This is good. What you are doing is good, meaning you maintain contact with your uncle and greet him, because this is his right upon you. Do not go to his home because your father is preventing you from doing so until you convince her and obtain her permission. Maintaining ties with your uncle is not limited to going to his home.
