What is the ruling on the severance of ties between a brother's wife and his children, and between a sister's children and the maternal uncle's children, as a result of disputes that led to the death of one of the parties, and the severance still continues?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Allah has made it obligatory to maintain kinship ties and forbidden their severance. Whoever falls into the severance of kinship commits a sin, as does whoever causes it. Efforts should be made to reconcile among people, for it is one of the greatest acts of nearness to Allah, as He states: {There is no good in much of their secret counsel save (in him) who enjoineth charity or kindness or reconciliation between people}.
