Question:
The questioner says: I live with my father, and he is in a dispute with my uncle. He ordered me to cut off ties with him and not to let my children go to him, even though I am married to my uncle’s daughter. What should I do?
Answer:
Do not obey him in cutting off ties. Maintain your family ties, maintain ties with your relatives, and do not obey your brother or anyone else in disobedience, because cutting off family ties is a sin. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Mishkat al-Masabih 3696
