What comes under cutting the ties of kinship? Is it permissible under certain circumstances? If a near relative is a Sufi or a person from a different Manhaj and if we know that engaging in talks with him will lead to quarrels and problems is it better to stay away from them? If we stay away from them out of fear of more and more quarrels will that come under cutting the ties of kinship ? Who are the relatives we should not have ties with no matter the circumstances?
