What is our duty towards the wife's family who rarely ask about their daughter? Is there a sin in not asking about them? Is the dowry (shabka) the right of the wife's family? And is it permissible to eat from the money of the wife's father who takes people's rights lightly?

Previously, the obligation of maintaining kinship ties, especially with parents, was explained, along with what should be done if the spouses fear that the wife's mother might spoil their relationship. The 'Shabka' (jewelry gift) is nothing more than part of the dowry or a gift for the fiancée, and the girl's family has no right to it. Eating from the money of the wife's father, who earns unlawful money, has a ruling that oscillates between prohibition and detestability.
