Answer
There are two aspects to your query; a) Family ties, b) Having financial dealings (loans, etc.) with them.
According to the Shari'ah, you have a right to claim the borrowed money from your relatives. However, in doing so, you should be cautious as the financial dealing should not harm the family relationship.
We advise you enquire from your relative the reasons for not paying the loan and decide on any course considering the reasons for the delay.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
