The Kinship Ties One Is Commanded to Maintain

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner from Yemen says: Islam commands the maintenance of kinship ties, but what are the kinship ties that one is commanded to maintain? Are they relatives such as an aunt, a grandmother, or an uncle, for example, or is it everyone who has a connection to a person?

Answer:
Relatives are the kinship ties: your father and your mother, your grandparents and their children, your children and their children, your brothers and their children, your paternal uncles and their children, your maternal uncles and their children, starting with the closest and moving to the more distant. It was said: “O Messenger of Allah! Whom should I be the best to?” He said:
Your mother,أمك،
He said: “Then who?” He said:
Your motherأمك
, He said: “Then who?” He said:

Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1897Hasan (Darussalam)
Every relative is more deserving of maintaining the tie, and among them are the maternal uncles, the paternal uncles, and their children. Yes.
