The questioner:
If the relatives are polytheists, do we maintain their interests?

Even if they are complaining, if they are not at war with us, but are under a truce or treaty, as our Lord, Exalted and Majestic is He, said:[Al-Mumtahanah 60:8]
The questioner:
Some relatives do not accept advice; they say, "Do not come to us and do not advise us." In such a case, should a person go to them and not stand up a hundred thousand times?
The Shaykh:
Even if they say that, he should seek the reward and do so in a good manner. Even if they say that, he should pray for their guidance.

لَّا يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجُوكُم مِّن دِيَارِكُمْ أَن تَبَرُّوهُمْ وَتُقْسِطُوا إِلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَThe questioner:
