Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
"Maintaining kinship ties is a great matter that Allah has coupled with His piety and has forbidden severing them. Severing them is a form of corruption on earth, and one who severs kinship ties will not enter Paradise. Severing ties with parents is even more dangerous, for Allah has coupled His right with theirs and has enjoined kindness to them and companionship with them, even if they are disbelievers. Therefore, it is obligatory to hasten to repentance, maintain ties with family, and return to the parents' home. One must praise Allah for providing the opportunity to repent before death."
