The question

Is boycotting the wives of paternal male cousins considered a correct course of action, given their plotting and deceit, and do they fall under the category of "kindred" whom it is impermissible to boycott, especially with the fear of further deterioration of family relations?

The answer

Our religion magnifies kinship and emphasizes maintaining ties, and estrangement among relatives is impermissible. You must advise your mother to reconnect with her sister, and she should be the first to extend greetings. You must also immediately reconnect with your aunt and repent for having estranged her. As for the cunning of your female cousins’ wives, it does not harm you, and we advise forgiveness and turning away from their ignorance. It is permissible to avoid them to prevent their harm, knowing that maintaining specific ties with them is not obligatory.
