Dealing with Relatives and Kin

Question:
How should one deal with the girl's family if they are relatives and kin? How should one deal with the girl's family if they are relatives and kin?

Answer:
Deal with them by being kind to them; if they are in need, help them. This is maintaining family ties. As for following them, that is not permissible. Do not obey them in bid'ah (religious innovation) or follow them in bid'ah. But be kind to them. Be kind to them and fulfill their rights. However, do not follow them in bid'ah. Also, it is obligatory for you to advise them and clarify things to them. It is their right over you that you advise them against innovations and clarify them to them, because they may think that they are not innovations, but rather sunnah (recommended practice). You clarify this to them. Yes.
