The one who is away from his family, the ruling on maintaining ties with his relatives, and how to do so
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
I have been studying in Buraydah for three years, praise be to Allah, but my family, friends, and relatives blame me for not contacting them and say about me: "He severs the family tie." Some of the young men accuse me of this, even though I am unable to contact all of them?
As for the one who is away from his closest relatives, such as his mother, father, and brother, he should not cut off news from them. The telephone, praise be to Allah, brings the distant close, and you can call your parents once a week.
As for friends, just as they have a right over you, you have a right over them. Tell them, "You are more deserving of contacting me, because it is difficult for me, while it is not difficult for you." As for the close relatives, you must contact them every Friday or every Tuesday, according to what is easy for you.
