The Effect of Disputes with a Close Relative on the Presentation of Good Deeds

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A Muslim performs righteous deeds from those that the Shari'ah has commanded, but he may be in a dispute with a relative, a close kin, or a friend. Does this dispute stop the presentation of righteous deeds? And if the person is the one who is harmed, is he required to seek to resolve this dispute so that it does not stop the presentation of his righteous deeds?

Answer:
Yes, it is reported in the hadith that deeds are presented to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) on Monday and Thursday. If there is hostility between two people, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says to His angels:
Postpone these two until they reconcileأخروا هذين حتى يصطلحا
Postpone these two until they reconcileأخروا هذين حتى يصطلحا
So there is no doubt that severing family ties and hostility cause the delay of a servant's deeds in being presented to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
