Is a husband's prevention of his wife from visiting her family and relatives—due to his belief that they harm her reputation and their relationship—and the wife's restriction to contacting her mother once a week, visiting her once every two weeks, and visiting other relatives once a month, considered satisfactory, or is she thereby deemed to be severing ties of kinship?

"Scholars differ regarding the extent of a husband's permission for his wife to visit her parents, and this is referred back to custom. Therefore, he should permit her to visit them from time to time, according to what is customarily accepted. The Sharia (definition) does not specify a particular method or amount for maintaining kinship ties; rather, it varies according to circumstances and customs, and is achieved through visits, communication, greetings, and everything that custom considers as a connection. If you agree with your husband to visit your mother every two weeks and your relatives every month, you are not considered a severer of kinship ties. Maintaining kinship ties has degrees, the lowest of which is abandoning estrangement. It varies according to ability and need, with some being obligatory and some recommended. One who maintains some connection but does not achieve its utmost is not called a severer of ties, and one who falls short of what he is capable of is not called a maintainer of ties."
