Maintaining family ties with relatives who are not interested in maintaining family ties
Question
As a Muslim, one should maintain contact with relatives. But what if the relatives do not have adab and akhlaq or are not interest in holding contact with me? What should I do about this?
Answer
Just meet them briefly and move on, you will be blessed with maintaining a good relationship. The blessings are immense. Why should you deprive yourself because of their behaviour?
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
