Will a believer who remembers Allah and does not commit major sins, but fails to maintain kinship ties due to a weak personality, enter the Fire?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Severing ties of kinship is a grave sin that Allah has associated with corruption on earth and has cursed its perpetrator. A Muslim who prays yet severs ties of kinship is a disobedient person. Their matter is subject to Allah’s will if they die persisting in severing ties without repentance; He may punish them or forgive them, because the texts of warnings are qualified by what removes them, such as repentance, forgiveness, or intercession. Weakness of character is not considered a justification for severing ties of kinship; rather, connection can be maintained through brief visits, phone calls, or gifts.
