Breaking Ties Even With Those Who Wish to Break Up Ties With us is HarÄm
Although one would not be at fault from a worldly point of view, according to Shari’a, breaking ties even with those who want to do so is HarÄm.
It is natural for a person who, finding that his relative does not acknowledge him nor fulfills his rights, reacts by remaining aloof and allowing the bonds of kinship to be broken.
The Holy Prophet (S) says:
“Do not break ties with your relatives even if they break them with you.”
