The answer

The paternal uncle's daughter and the maternal uncle's daughter are among the kin whose ties must be maintained. Islamic law has not specified a particular measure for maintaining these ties; rather, the customary practice is the reference point for this. Therefore, if refraining from visiting them is considered a severance of ties, then visiting them becomes obligatory, provided that no religiously forbidden act results from the visit, such as seclusion with a non-mahram, impermissible gazing, ostentatious display, or touching.
