Is a woman who wears the niqab sinful if she does not visit her relatives and only checks on them by phone, due to their constant criticism of her for wearing the niqab?

A Muslim must adhere to the religion and preserve the commands of the Sharia. He must be patient in the face of harm and harassment. Boycotting relatives is not advised; rather, it is obligatory to maintain ties with them and invite them to the truth with gentleness and leniency. Visits can be reduced, or the style of conversation with them can be changed, and visits can be compensated with phone calls.
