Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner from Riyadh mentions in her letter, and the summary of this letter is that: my husband's relatives do not visit us, they hate me, and they do not want us to visit them, and they consider me a bad omen. So, is my husband and I sinful for boycotting them?
We ask for your guidance in this matter, knowing that we maintain the prayers and obligatory duties. Please advise us, may you be rewarded.
Answer:
If the situation is as you described, there is no blame on you. If the fault is theirs, and they do not want you, and do not accept your visits, then the sin is on them. As for you, you must... and you must speak kindly, and pray for their success and guidance. If it becomes easy for you to visit them in a good manner that is not burdensome or difficult, you will have a reward. But if someone is available to advise them and perform the duty of good mediation between you, that is good.
The point is: there is no sin on you if they dislike your visits and are not pleased with you. But if you visit, are patient, pray for their well-being, treat them well, and speak to them with kind words, then you will be rewarded, you and your husband. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
