How can one balance reducing the children’s visits to the wife’s family due to familial and religious differences, with avoiding the severing of kinship ties?
It is part of a husband's good companionship to help his wife honor her parents, maintain ties of kinship, and be good to her family, and he is not permitted to prevent her from doing so. The husband must protect his wife and children from corruption and prevent anything that harms their religion. The two duties should be combined: family members should not be prevented from visiting unless it harms the religion of the wife and children. The has not specified a particular method or fixed times for maintaining ties of kinship; rather, it varies according to people's circumstances. One must be keen to achieve this connection to an extent that does not lead to corruption.
