How to Maintain Ties with Paternal Cousins, Paternal Aunts, Maternal Cousins, and Maternal Aunts

Question:
He says: How is the visiting of paternal cousins, paternal aunts, maternal cousins, and maternal aunts, since they are relatives? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It is prescribed to visit relatives, especially those with whom marriage is prohibited, such as maternal uncles, paternal uncles, or paternal aunts, and the like, according to the order of kinship, or by writing, or by telephone. All of this is good. The important thing is that the ties between them are good, not severed, but rather good ties through kind words, visiting, telephone calls, and the like.
And if the one being visited is not a mahram (a relative one may not marry), there is nothing wrong with it, provided that the visit does not involve seclusion with a non-mahram, nor fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), nor shubhah (a doubtful matter). There is nothing wrong if he visits her with her husband, or at her brother's house, or at her father's house, as a visit of love and kinship, saying, "Peace be upon you, peace be upon you. How are you? How...?" There is nothing wrong with this in maintaining family ties, as long as it is in a manner that carries no suspicion of evil, and does not involve a mahram (in the sense of a forbidden state), no seclusion with a non-mahram, no tabarruj (a woman's display of her adornment), and no exposing of any part of the adornment. Yes.
