Rights of relatives

A great stress has been given in The Holy Quran for maintaining ties with one’s blood relations and severing such relationship is a major sin. Minimal requirement of such relationship is to treat your relatives kindly and fulfil your financial obligations. Financial assistance should also be extended to needy relatives if you can afford it. Best way to deal with your relatives is to extend your kindness and help more than their prescribed rights. Such an act attracts great rewards from Allah سبحانه وتعالى in this world and in the hereafter.
