Is the questioner considered to have severed ties with her grandmother if her father visits her alone, knowing that she has not seen her for more than two years due to her grandmother's circumstances?

Maintaining kinship ties (Silat al-Rahim) is a religious obligation. The extent of this obligation is determined by custom and can be fulfilled through financial support, visits, or other means. Reducing visits to one's grandmother is not always considered a severing of ties. However, if, according to local custom, such infrequent visiting is deemed a severing of ties, then it becomes a forbidden severing, especially if the absence of visits extends to two years while residing in the same town.
