The Denouncement of “Cutting Off Kinship Ties” in the Traditions
Numerous traditions have reached us in this regard. A few of these reports are quoted here:
The Holy Prophet (S) states:
There is destruction in enmity, especially with the relatives. I do not mean the destruction of the law but rather the destruction of the religion. (Enmity among people not only harms the hair and the body, but it also destroys one’s religion).
(al-KÄfi, Chapter of Qat’a ar-Rahm)
Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) says:
“Protect yourself from ‘Haliqa’ for it destroys the people.” The narrator asked “What is ‘Haliqa’”, Imam replied, “To sever relations.”
