Is it permissible for a man to cut ties with his relatives whose behavior has driven him to despair, despite his advice to them and their lack of response, and every time he visits them, he feels distress and frustration that lasts for weeks, especially given their actions such as not paying Zakat on wealth, mistreating the domestic worker, backbiting, neglecting their husbands, and not doing household chores?

The Sharia commanded maintaining kinship ties and forbade severing them. The occurrence of sin by relatives does not justify cutting them off. It is permissible to abandon sinful relatives if there is a predominant legitimate benefit in doing so, such as the hope of their repentance or deterring them from persisting in sin, as happened in the story of Ka'b ibn Malik. As for those whose abandonment yields no benefit, they should not be cut off. It is obligatory to denounce their wrongdoing appropriately and not to sit in their gatherings where they insist on evil after being advised.
