Islamic family relations

Islamic family relations

Islamic family relations concerns both the close family as well as the more distant families. Several hadith stress the importance of keeping family relations alive and recommend that even distant relations are to be visited, even if would take a year to travel to them. Brothers and sisters at home should help their mother when she becomes unable to support her children alone. At the same time brothers and sisters should be benevolent to each other. Islam strongly supports this interaction between each other. In Islam, all muslims are considered brothers and sisters in Islam.

Some hadith state that the person who severs the bond of kinship will not enter Paradise [bukhari|8|73|13] .
