The answer

Maintaining kinship ties is an obligation in Islamic law and naturally desirable, and it is particularly emphasized for parents. Kinship ties can be maintained through visits, phone calls, and sending gifts. If sufficient funds are not available to visit parents, one is not obligated to incur debt; rather, phone calls and similar means suffice. Scholars have indeed disliked incurring debt without an urgent necessity. However, if there is a means to repay the debt, there is no impediment to incurring debt to maintain ties with parents. The prioritization of these options depends on personal circumstances and the parents' needs.
