A woman from Europe asks, saying: Her daughter married a disbeliever, so is it permissible for her to receive them in her home if they visit?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman from Europe who says: I am your sister from Europe, and my daughter married a disbeliever two years ago. Since that time, the relationship between us has been cut off. Then, a month ago, she contacted me and informed me that she has children and that she wants to visit me with her children and her husband. The question is: Is it permissible for me, according to the Shari'ah, to receive her in my home with her disbeliever husband and children?

Answer:
Yes. There is nothing wrong with it. This is maintaining family ties. The mother of Asma bint Abi Bakr came to her in Madinah while she was a disbeliever, seeking to maintain the tie. So she asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "My mother has come to me, and she is eager to maintain the tie, so should I maintain the tie with her?" He said: "Yes." So when they come to you, honor them and receive them. Also, invite them to Islam, perhaps they will become Muslims. Yes.
