(Remember! It is Wajib to treat relatives well and to break off relations with them is a sin, Haraam and an act leading to Hell.)

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 relation to him.

Similarly, they also boycott the party of the relative who does not attend any of their party and thus distance between both of them increases further. If someone does not attend our party, we can take many aspects of good presumption Whether or not she tells us why she did not come, we should have good
