· 6 Jumada II 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If a close relative who is your mahram is hurting your feelings constantly and you do not like it , how do you distance yourself from him without being disrespectful and you would not want to create any distance between other family members and break family ties?

Answer

In order to avoid problems, associate less with such a person.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
