Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. What does this questioner mean by reconciling people? What is the reward for the one who does it? And does this include marital problems between relatives?
Answer:
Yes, reconciling people is settling the dispute between those who differ and striving to remove the hostility. There is a great reward in this. Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nisa 4:114] Reconciliation is required. Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Anfal 8:1] And in the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2510Da'if (Darussalam) And among this is reconciling the two spouses, and it is even more so. Yes.

Answer:
Yes, reconciling people is settling the dispute between those who differ and striving to remove the hostility. There is a great reward in this. Allah the Exalted said:
No good is there in much of their private conversation, except for those who enjoin charity or that which is right or conciliation between people. And whoever does that seeking means to the approval of Allah - then We are going to give him a great reward.
لَّا خَيْرَ فِي كَثِيرٍ مِّن نَّجْوَاهُمْ إِلَّا مَنْ أَمَرَ بِصَدَقَةٍ أَوْ مَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ إِصْلَاحٍ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَمَن يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ ابْتِغَاءَ مَرْضَاتِ اللَّهِ فَسَوْفَ نُؤْتِيهِ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًاSo fear Allah and amend that which is between you and obey Allah and His Messenger, if you should be believers.
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَصْلِحُوا ذَاتَ بَيْنِكُمْ وَأَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَI do not speak of what cuts the hair, but what severs the religion
