*     It is wājib to treat your relatives kindly, whereas severing ties is forbidden and an act that leads to Hell.^[3]

*     Having good relations with relatives is not treating them well only if they treat you well. In reality, this sort of interaction becomes an exchange; if they send a gift, you send a gift, and if they come to visit you, you visit them. Treating your family well is to maintain ties when someone wishes to sever them, and to fulfil their rights when they wish to separate.^[4]

Announcement

The remaining points regarding treating relatives kindly will be mentioned in the study circles, so please take part in the study circles to learn about them.
