Simple way of maintaining family ties
Question
I have not called some of my relatives for a very long time. However, I do not have any negetive feelings about them. Will this be considered breaking ties with relatives?
Answer
No. But it is important that you call them in short intervals. This is one of the requirements for maintaining good family ties. One simple way is to send a message or email to them.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
