"The family ties which must be maintained are general and specific. The general one is the relations of Islam. It is obligatory to maintain connections with them with friendly relations, advice, justice, fairness and fulfilling ones obligations to them in the obligatory and the commendable. The specific includes financially supporting family members, checking on their condition and overlooking their mistakes."
Cutting family ties which should be maintained has serious consequences in this life and in the hereafter. It is one of the worst of the major sins.
Allah says:
'Those who join that which God has Commanded to be joined, and have awe for their Lord, and fear the constraint of the reckoning.' (Ar-Rad:21)
So let's obey Allah, let us keep our blood ties. When you come to think of it, that's what we need nowadays and forever, maintaining family ties is what implants inside us the sense of stability and spiritual peacefulness. Let us stay close to our families and our relatives.
