The answer

The questioner is thanked for his keenness on religious observances and is advised to remain steadfast upon them and not to pay attention to the mockery of scoffers, because there is no compromise in the religion of Allah for anyone, and the pleasure of Allah must be the ultimate goal. It is recommended to offer sincere advice to relatives and remind them of Allah. There is no harm in maintaining ties with them if corruption is not feared. However, if harm is apprehended, it is preferable to avoid visiting them and to prevent children from visiting them. Communication can be maintained through other means.
