The Ruling on Maintaining Ties with Relatives Who Display Coldness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
You say: I go to visit some of my relatives, but I notice that they do not welcome me, and I feel that they do not want me to visit them. Should I cut off visiting them, knowing that they are relatives and kin, as I mentioned? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is better that you visit them and fulfill the right of kinship, and I give you glad tidings of good. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 5991 So if you see coldness from them, you should be better than them. Greet them with kind words and a kind visit, and you are on the path of good and reward, and praise be to Allah. Yes.

Answer:
It is better that you visit them and fulfill the right of kinship, and I give you glad tidings of good. 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 الواصل بالمكافئ، ولكن الواصل الذي إذا قطعت رحمه وصلها
