Is it permissible for a father to prevent his son from maintaining family ties if there is a disagreement between the father and these relatives?

The questioner : If the father prevents the son from visiting his relatives to maintain family ties, and there is a disagreement between the father and those who have the right to family ties, such that if the son visits his relatives, the father drives the son out, driving the son out of the house.

The Shaykh : Such that what?

The questioner : If the son visits his relatives, he is driven out of the house; the father drives him out. So what is the ruling: does he visit or does he not visit?

The Shaykh : Does it mean they prevent him from maintaining family ties absolutely?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Does it mean for years?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : He is not to be obeyed; it is not permissible to obey him.

The questioner : So even if he fulfills his duty, he is driven out of the house, meaning?

The Shaykh : He remains being driven out of the house, like the Muslims who are driven out of their homes and their lands.

Another questioner : From the houses of Allah.

The Shaykh : From the houses of Allah, of course. So what does that equal? He must be patient with the divine decree and destiny...
