Maintaining family ties despite the severance of relatives

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, via the program's mobile phone, a questioner asks and says: Regarding maintaining family ties, if they do not want me to maintain ties with them, am I sinful, and what is required of me?

Answer:
Yes, maintain ties with them even if they cut you off, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Maintain ties with them even if they cut you off”
then you in fact throw hot ashes (upon their faces) and there would always remain with you on behalf of Allahفكأنما تسفهم المل ولا يزال عليك من الله
Sahih Muslim 2558a
and you will continue to have from Allah a supporter, meaning one who helps you in maintaining ties with them and being kind to them. Yes.

The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
