Maintaining kinship ties is one of the most obligatory duties and greatest acts of obedience. Allah has not restricted the means of doing so; rather, it is left to common practice. Therefore, maintain your kinship ties in a way that suits the time and avoids difficulty, such as visiting, or a phone call, even if for only one minute, or sending a message to inquire about their well-being and express a desire to connect if a visit is not possible.
