Maintaining Ties with Neglectful Relatives and Sitting with Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you. He says: My cousins love to display themselves and remove their clothes, and they have been in this state for five years. I explain to them that this is forbidden, but none of them responds, and they are poor, so I gave them money. Is it permissible for me to maintain ties with them and sit with them?
Answer:
Yes, maintain ties with them, because they are relatives and have a right to be treated with kinship. As for sitting with them, if your sitting with them and advising them has an effect on them, then sit with them. But if it has no effect and they do not accept your advice, do not sit with them, except for the purpose of continuing to advise them, perhaps Allah will guide them. Yes.
