The questioner : Those relatives whose maintenance of ties is obligatory?
The Shaykh : The relatives whose maintenance of ties is obligatory are all close relatives from the father's side and the mother's side, and the limit of this is the fourth grandfather. For example, Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Ali ibn Sulayman ibn Khalid; Khalid and his descendants are the relatives of the fourth grandfather, and those above them are not relatives to you, because if we were to say that every father of yours is one whose ties you must maintain, we would reach whom? We would reach Adam, and Adam is not the son of Abdullah. Yes.
