Ruling on severing the ties of kinship


238

Q: What is the ruling on severing the ties with some relatives, especially if (Part No. 25; Page No. 372) they do not respect the Islamic teachings? They invite us to shake hands with women and go to their gatherings where men and women intermix but we refuse, since this is Haram (prohibited). On the other hand, severing the ties of kinship is among the major sins. I hope Shaykh `Abdul-`Aziz ibn Baz will answer my question and relieve me. May Allah reward you well!


A: Maintaining the ties of kinship is obligatory, for Allah (Exalted be He) says, Worship Allâh and join none with Him (in worship); and do good to parents, kinsfolk However, do not attend their parties where men and women intermix, as long as you cannot change that evil.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
