Sadr-us-Shari’ah Mufti Muhammad Amjad ‘Ali A’zami رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: ‘Tauriyah’ means: The apparent meaning of the words are wrong but the speaker takes some other meaning of the same words uttered by him which are correct. But doing this, without any Shar’i reason is impermissible. The similitude of ‘Tauriyah’ is that you have invited somebody for a meal and he says: ‘I have eaten.’ The apparent meaning of this is that he has eaten the meal of that time but if he takes this meaning that he had eaten yesterday then this will be considered a lie. (Therefore, ‘Tauriyah’ is impermissible in this situation).

Through this question and answer of ‘Fatawa Razawiyyah’, it is learnt that severing relationship from one relative upon the demand of any other without any Shar’i reason is impermissible according to the Shari’ah. On such occasions, normally, it looks difficult to do justice and highly virtuous people fall into this trap, but do not lose hope and have confidence in the mercy of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. It is stated in a blessed Hadees: ‘Wisdom is the lost treasure of the true believer.’ (Tirmizi, vol. 4, pp. 314, Raqm 2696)

Keeping this blessed Hadith in mind try to apply such a way honestly through which you manage to mediate between difficult parties and no one’s right is deprived, because fulfilling the demand of anyone’s relative would certainly violate the other’s right and this will lead to severing of relations or ties which is an impermissible and Haram act as well as it is disobedience to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, as the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: ‘لَا طَاعَةَ لِمَخۡلُوقٍ فِي مَعۡصِيَةِ الۡخَالِقِ’ i.e., ‘There is no obedience to the creation in disobedience to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.’ (Mu’jam-ul-Kabeer, vol. 18, pp. 170, Hadees 381)
