The Shaykh:
But the fact that she left it is more valuable, yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good. This is a second question. The questioner asks: What is the criterion for the kin whom one is obligated to visit?
The Shaykh:
They are the relatives, starting with the closest and then the next closest, just as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 5 his brothers, then his uncles, and so on, according to what is easy, according to what is easy.

They are the relatives, starting with the closest and then the next closest, just as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Messenger of Allah, to whom should I be dutiful?' 'Your mother,' he replied. He was asked, 'Then whom?' 'Your mother,' he replied. He was asked, 'Then whom?' 'Your mother,' he replied. He was asked, 'Then whom?' He replied, 'Your father.'
يا رسول الله من أبر؟ قال أمك قال ثم من؟ قال أمك قال ثم من؟ قال أمك قال ثم من؟ قال أباك ثم الأقرب فالأقرب
