Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. Also, in this message, Shaykh Salih is complaining about the severing of family ties, and also complaining about those who cause the severing of family ties, whether through speech, looks, backbiting, talebearing, lying, and the like. He asks Shaykh Salih for an extensive discussion on this topic to address this issue. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
We have already spoken about this topic in an answer at the beginning of this episode. The severing of family ties is undoubtedly a crime and a major sin among the major sins, and it is very serious, because relatives have rights. Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nisa 4:1] meaning, fear Allah regarding your relatives so that you do not sever them. So whoever has fallen into any severing of family ties must repent to Allah the Mighty and Majestic and must restore the ties of kinship, fulfilling the obligation and fearing the anger of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. [Muhammad 47:22-24] It is certain that maintaining family ties is an obligatory right and it comes in the third position among the ten rights mentioned in the saying of Allah the Exalted: [An-Nisa 4:36] to the end of the verse. So it is upon the questioner to remember this and to make peace with his relatives if there is severance between him and them. If they respond to his call, then...
...that is good and excellent. Otherwise, he fulfills what Allah has obligated upon him, and they are responsible for what Allah has obligated upon them. Yes. Yes.

And fear Allah, through whom you ask one another, and the wombs
وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي تَسَاءَلُونَ بِهِ وَالْأَرْحَامَ(22) So would you perhaps, if you turned away, cause corruption on earth and sever your [ties of] relationship? (23) Those [who do so] are the ones that Allah has cursed, so He deafened them and blinded their vision. (24) Then
فَهَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ إِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ أَن تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَتُقَطِّعُوا أَرْحَامَكُمْ أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ فَأَصَمَّهُمْ وَأَعْمَىٰ أَبْصَارَهُمْ أَفَلَاWorship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good, and to relatives
وَاعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا وَبِذِي الْقُرْبَىٰ...that is good and excellent. Otherwise, he fulfills what Allah has obligated upon him, and they are responsible for what Allah has obligated upon them. Yes. Yes.
