Is it permissible to sever ties with half-sisters and their children due to inheritance disputes?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Maintaining kinship ties is obligatory, and severing them is forbidden, considered among the major sins. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "A severer of kinship will not enter Paradise." Maintaining ties with brothers, sisters, and their children is obligatory. Disputes over inheritance do not justify severing kinship ties.
