relations with us, and we will sever relations with those who also sever relations with us.” Saying this and adopting this manner both are contrary to Islam.

It is further mentioned: There is only one permissible condition of severing ties with relatives and that condition is to sever ties based on a religious reason for example, no matter how close a relative is, if he becomes an apostate, goes astray or become heretic, then it is Wajib to sever ties with him or if a relative is indulged in major sin, and does not abstain from it even after he is prevented but rather he adamantly remains indulged in committing sins then it is necessary to cut ties with him because keeping ties with him and cooperating him is like taking part in his major sin and this act is not permissible at all.^[1]

However, if one does not help such a person at all in his acts of sin and there is no risk of developing an inclination towards sins then it is not Wajib to sever ties with him, and if possible, he must call him to righteousness so that he may keep away from committing sins.

Remember! Islamic Law has mentioned the rights of all the people; but be it parents, relatives, sister, brother or neighbours, their rights will only be fulfilled if it is in accordance to Islamic Law, otherwise none of them will be obeyed nor will the relation be maintained; instead, Allah Almighty and His Prophet   صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم   will be obeyed. We should always keep this point in mind and act upon it in every situation.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
