Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is maintaining family ties through the mother and through the father?

Answer:
Yes, uncles, aunts, maternal uncles, and maternal aunts, whether through the mother or through the father, are all relatives.
Q: Similarly, if a woman is with a husband who is not a relative, is she allowed to maintain her family ties?
A: Her relatives are her own relatives on the side of her mother and her father?
Q: Yes.
A: So her husband's relatives have become strangers; they are not relatives to her.
Q: For example, her maternal uncles and paternal uncles, and so on. What if the husband refuses?
A: She maintains ties with them from her own money, not from the husband's money, unless he permits it. From her own money.
Q: I mean visiting them?
A: Or visiting them, likewise, only with his permission.
Q: With his permission?
A: Yes.
Q: Okay, if the husband refuses, is there no blame on her?
A: If he sees the benefit, there is no harm, and it is better that he helps her to do good. But if he fears harm from her visiting, there is no harm in him preventing her.
