The Shaykh:
Yes, repeat the question.
The questioner:
Yes, I am married to a woman, and my wife’s sister has poisoned me twice or more. Should I maintain my family ties with her or sever them? She is my cousin, and I am afraid of her and her family.
The Shaykh:
This is not correct, that she would poison you. Perhaps this is a suspicion on your part; you are imagining it, or perhaps one of the talebearers told you that to sow enmity between you. Do not listen to talebearing or to suspicions. Do not listen to suspicions or talebearing. You must verify the matter. You must verify the matter. If it is confirmed to you with certainty that she did that, then you must stay away from her and be cautious of her. You must be cautious of her and stay away from her, unless she repents to Allah the Exalted.
