Wishing to keep ties with her aunt despite her family's ill treatment to her

Q 2: I have an old paternal aunt who is blind. Whenever I go to visit her, her family insults me a lot. I am an unmarried girl and they insult me badly; what is the ruling on this? Should I cut the ties of kinship with this family? It is worth mentioning that I swore not to visit them again and to disconnect myself from them. Now, I do not visit them but my paternal aunt is in her deathbed and I do not know whether she is going to be well again or not.


A: If you visit your sick paternal aunt and stay patient with the harm you receive, you will be rewarded. Make Kaffarah (expiation) for your broken oath by feeding ten needy people, clothing them or freeing a believing slave. If you can not afford that, then fast for three days.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
