Encouraging the Maintenance of Family Ties
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Finally, he says: Shaykh, among his questions, is there a word to encourage maintaining family ties and warn against severing them? Also, in our present time, means of communication such as the telephone and the internet have become widespread; do these suffice in place of a man going to visit his relatives, uncles, and aunts?
Answer:
Going to them and visiting them is part of maintaining family ties. However, if you are able to do more than that, such as giving gifts or providing for them if they are in need, that is more complete in terms of maintaining family ties. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
