Does not visiting one of my female relatives in her home count as severing kinship ties, and am I therefore sinful?

The answer

Reconciliation with the relative's wife should be completed with a visit, even if only once, and the relationship should be maintained by avoiding anything that provokes disagreement, because a Muslim does not quarrel with his brother over worldly matters. Although the relative's wife is not a blood relation, maintaining ties with this relative necessitates visiting her and inquiring about her well-being. Islamic law has warned against enmity, hatred, and abandonment for more than three nights, so it is incumbent upon a Muslim to strive to reconcile disputes if animosity occurs.
