Maintaining Family Ties to the Extent of One's Ability
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am fully aware of the prohibition of severing family ties, but it is my nature not to visit frequently; this sometimes causes me to refrain from visiting my relatives for more than a month, but I do not intend anything by it. Is there any sin on me for this?
Answer:
You are only required to do what is within your ability, and there is no sin on you for this. You are only required to do what you are able to do in terms of visiting, whether by phone call, letter, telegram, or will, each according to its own circumstances.
