The Generality of the Command to Maintain Family Ties for Men and Women
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is maintaining family ties obligatory for men only, and not for women?
Answer:
Maintaining family ties is shared between men and women; for Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says in His great Book:[Muhammad 47:22] Those are the ones whom Allah has cursed, so He has made them deaf and blinded their eyes [Muhammad: 22-23]. This is an address to everyone, men and women.
And likewise His saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Abi Dawud 1696Sahih (Al-Albani) This includes men and women, and His saying (peace and blessings be upon him): This includes men and women. So maintaining family ties is required of men and women, indeed it is obligatory upon all of them, and it is not specific to men. Yes.
Is maintaining family ties obligatory for men only, and not for women?
Answer:
Maintaining family ties is shared between men and women; for Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says in His great Book:
So would you perhaps, if you turned away, cause corruption on earth and sever your [ties of] relationship?
فَهَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ إِنْ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ أَنْ تُفْسِدُوا فِي الأَرْضِ وَتُقَطِّعُوا أَرْحَامَكُمْ And likewise His saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
Anyone who cuts off relationship from his nearest relatives will not enter Paradise.
لا يدخل الجنة قاطع رحمWhoever loves to have his lifespan extended and his provision expanded, let him maintain his family ties.
من أحب أن يفسح له في أجله وأن يبسط له في رزقه، فليصل رحمه
