Is it permissible to boycott relatives who worship at graves after advising them and their failure to respond?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a questioner from outside this country. He says: In our country, we have relatives who travel to the graves of the awliya (close friends of Allah) and commit shirk (associating partners with Allah) innovations. We have advised them, but they did not respond. His question is: Is it permissible to boycott them and not greet them?

Answer:
Yes, they have become mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah). They refused after the call to Islam; they refused, so they are mushrikin and they are persistent in their shirk. Disavow them. If they need you, be kind to them solely for the sake of kinship. Yes.
