Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: What is the ruling on one who disowns his child and the entire family, and ceases to speak with them?
Answer:
This is severing ties, and it is not permissible. If one ceases to speak with them without a reason, this is severing ties and is forbidden. It is among the major sins; severing family ties is among the major sins.[Muhammad 47:22-23] Therefore, severing family ties is not permissible.
However, if one boycotts them because they are disobedient and do not accept advice, and he boycotts them so that they may repent, this is prescribed. Boycotting is prescribed if it is to deter the sinner from repenting. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) boycotted some of his Companions who lagged behind in the Battle of Tabuk until Allah accepted their repentance. Yes.

(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.
فَهَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ إِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ أَن تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَتُقَطِّعُوا أَرْحَامَكُمْ أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ فَأَصَمَّهُمْ وَأَعْمَىٰ أَبْصَارَهُمْHowever, if one boycotts them because they are disobedient and do not accept advice, and he boycotts them so that they may repent, this is prescribed.
