At two places in the Qur’an, Allah has cursed the one severing
family ties.
“And those who break the covenant of Allah, after its ratification,
and sever that which Allah has commanded to be joined (i.e. they
sever the bond of kinship and are not good to their relatives) and
work mischief in the land, on them is the curse, and for them is
the unhappy home (i.e. Hell)” [Ar-Rad 13:25. See also
Muhammad, 47:22-23].
"Whoever has poor/feeble kin and does not treat them well and
gives his charity to others and neglects them, Allah does not
accept his charity and will not look to him on the Day of
Judgment.” [Mundhiri]
But whoever is poor should keep good terms with them, visit
them and be heedful of them. The Prophet (pbuh) said,
Al-Waasil means ‘one who keeps good ties with his blood
relatives’.This is a general definition of Al-Waasil. However,
Rasool-Allah (PBUH) gave more explained definition for Al-Waasil.
Following hadith tells us about this:
Narrated Abdullah bin Amr (RA): The Prophet (PBUH) said, “Al-
Waasil is not the one who recompenses the good done to him by
his relatives, but Al-Waasil is the one who keeps good relations
with those relatives who had severed the bond of kinship with
him.” (Bukhari)
Islam came to set all our relationships right. This includes our
relations with Allah as well as with other human beings. Silat-ur-
Rahim is a very important part of the latter.
