Q: I have a relative who lives in
the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
and I live in
Yemen.
She has been away from her family for fifteen years, and she asked me to visit her, but I did not. This visit requires a passport and I cannot afford to get one, as passports in
Yemen
cost a lot. Am I considered sinful or not? Please advise, may Allah guide you.
A:
Maintaining the ties of kinship is obligatory upon a Mukallaf (person meeting the conditions to be held legally accountable for their actions), as it entails much goodness, such as joining the hearts in love and cooperation, and restraining enmity and hatred. However, this should be done according to a person's abilities. If you cannot do it, there will be no blame on you.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
