My relative practices sorcery and does not pray; should I maintain family ties with him?

Question:
May Allah reward you. We will take a call from our brother Abu 'Umar from Makkah. Go ahead, my brother Abu 'Umar. Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. May Allah keep you safe. Welcome, please go ahead. My lord, I want to ask the Honorable Shaykh. Raise your voice a little. My lord, I have a matter regarding maintaining family ties and the severance currently present in society. I have been afflicted by a relative who does not pray and practices sorcery, along with many other acts of open sinfulness and corruption. Do I have a ruling that I should cut off this relative and stay away from him out of fear for my home and my children? Okay, thank you.

Answer:
This relative, this relative you mentioned who practices sorcery and does not pray, you must advise him and admonish him with good admonition. If he accepts the advice and repents to Allah, praise be to Allah, then maintain ties with him, for he has a right upon you. But if he does not accept the advice, then you stay away from him and cut off ties with him until he repents to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
Practicing sorcery and abandoning prayer are causes of disbelief. Abandoning prayer intentionally takes one out of the religion, and sorcery also takes one out of the religion. So he has two types of the nullifiers of Islam. But if he accepts the advice and repents to Allah, then Allah is the Accepter of Repentance, the Merciful. And if he does not accept, then you must stay away from him. Yes.
