Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner:The questioner : He says: Who are the relatives who will demand their rights from us on the Day of Resurrection? And is honoring the children of uncles and maternal uncles—male and female—among the rights of parents over their children?
The Shaykh : The Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned in his book "Fath al-Bari, an explanation of Sahih al-Bukhari" that the relatives are those related through the father. However, this does not mean that other relatives have no right to be maintained; for it is established in "Sahih Muslim," and perhaps in "Sahih al-Bukhari" as well,Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1903Sahih (Darussalam). Therefore, it is all the more necessary to maintain ties with relatives, even if they are not through the father, which is the maintenance of kinship ties that was encouraged in many hadiths. This includes those above and those below.
The questioner : Who are they, specifically?
The Shaykh : They are the relatives of the father, whether above or below.
The questioner : Do you mean the ancestors and descendants?
The Shaykh : Yes, that is it, those above and below; meaning the ancestors and descendants, whether from below or from above.
The questioner : Shaykh, his question says: Who are they? From two sides: Who are the relatives who will demand their rights from us on the Day of Resurrection?
The Shaykh : These are the relatives of the father.
The questioner : Only the relatives of the father?
The Shaykh : But.
The questioner : And the mother?
The Shaykh : What I answered earlier, meaning in terms of direct demand, is that they are the relatives of the father, whether above or below. As for the other relatives, they have a connection of a second rank, not the first, as I mentioned earlier in the authentic hadith:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1903Sahih (Darussalam) meaning those whom he loved and was affectionate toward. Therefore, it is all the more necessary that if there are relatives other than through the father, they should be maintained as well, but not to the same degree as the maintenance of the father's relatives.
The questioner : Are the relatives of the father stronger in connection than the relatives of the mother?
The Shaykh: Yes.
Another questioner: In the hadith:.
The Shaykh has no relation to the subject we are discussing. You are asking who the relatives are? Who are the kin? So I mentioned to you what the Hafiz Ibn Hajar mentioned in his previously mentioned book.
Another questioner : Is the daughter of a paternal uncle and the daughter of a maternal uncle considered among the kin?
The Shaykh : The daughter of a paternal uncle, yes. But according to the previous explanation, the daughter of a maternal uncle...
