What? If you fear fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) from relatives, is it permissible for me to avoid them without boycotting them?
Answer:
I do not know what fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) you fear from relatives. Relatives generally do not wish you harm. Perhaps you are thinking ill of them, so do not deal with ill intent, doubts, and illusions. You must be good to them, and if they are bad to you, be good to them. Yes.
