The ruling on reciprocal treatment in visiting relatives
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Reciprocal treatment in visiting: some people reason that if they visit us, we should visit them?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 5991. This is the one who maintains ties of kinship who does not reciprocate with them; he says, "They did not come to me, so I will not go to them." No, he goes to them and treats them well, even if they cut off ties with him, even if they mistreat him. This is perfection.

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Al-Wasil is not the one who recompenses the good done to him by his relatives, but Al-Wasil is the one who keeps good relations with those relatives who had severed the bond of kinship with him.
ليس الواصِلُ بالمكافئ، ولكن الواصلَ الذي إذا قطعت رحمُه وصلها
