Re: Guidance on Avoiding/Dealing with a Relative
‘Sila rehmi’ is the pivotal teaching in Islam. I don’t remember exact wording of a hadess which says if you want to have barkat in your rizq, don’t break your relationships. In Arabic Rizq cover everything and just not material earnings. It covers your children, their good fate, as well.
Probably Surah e Noor contains the verses which revealed for Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA), when he said that he will not meet or help some of his relatives who were involved in badmouthing Hazrat Ayesha (RA) after incident of ifk. These verses were revealed with instructions not to break-up your relationship with such people.
@Muzna There is this famous hadees which says ‘achi aur meethi baat / muskrana’ bhi sadqa hai. Everyone can smile and say good words to those whom he/she likes. IMO this hadees comes into picture when we meet people we don’t like.
