Is it permissible for a mother to prevent her married daughter from maintaining kinship ties with her paternal cousin, and would the daughter be considered disobedient if she continued to maintain ties with her paternal cousin despite her mother's disapproval?
The mother does not have the right to prevent her daughter from maintaining kinship ties, and she should not be obeyed in this matter, due to the hadith: "There is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator." The daughter must speak gently to her mother when apologizing for not obeying her in severing kinship ties. If the mother insists, the daughter may maintain her kinship ties without her mother's knowledge.
