Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it sufficient in maintaining family ties for a man to contact his relative by telephone, without needing to visit them?
Answer:
That is the minimum. If he is unable to visit, he should reassure them by calling them, asking about their condition, and greeting them. That is a good thing. Yes.
