Remaining Madani pearls on treating relatives well

 ٭Treating relatives well does not mean that when they treat you well, you treat them well too. It is in fact called reciprocation, that is, when he sends you something, you send him something too, when he comes to you, you go to him too. In reality, treating relatives well means when he breaks off [relations] with you, you establish [relations] with him; if he wants to get separated from you, becomes careless of you, you take care of the rights of your relationship to him. (Rad-ul-Muhtar, vol. 9, pp. 678)

 ٭There are different forms of treating relatives well such as giving them gifts, helping them if they need your help in any permissible act, saying Salam to them, going to meet them, spending time with them, talking to them, treating them with kindness. (Kitab Ad-Durar-ul-Hukaam, vol. 1, pp. 323)

 ٭We should meet our relatives with gaps, that is, on alternate days as it increases love and affection more or rather we should meet relatives every Friday or once a month. (Kitab Ad-Durar-ul-Hukaam, vol. 1, pp. 323)

 ٭All the tribes and family should be united, that is, when they are right and all should struggle jointly to show the truth. (Kitab Ad-Durar-ul-Hukaam, vol. 1, pp. 323)

 ٭If any of your relative needs something, satisfy his need; refusing to satisfy his need [i.e. not helping him despite having the ability] is to break off relations with him. (Kitab Ad-Durar-ul-Hukaam, vol. 1, pp. 323)
