Shaykh Muhammad Saalih al-'Uthaymeen [1]

Relatives are those who are related to you through blood and close ties; such as the brother, the uncle, the aunty, or their children. Everyone who has a tie of relation with you has certain rights upon you in accordance with how closely they are related to you. About this, Allaah - the Most High - said:

"And give to the relative his right." [Soorah al-lsraa 17:26].

Allaah - the Most High - also said:

"And worship Allaah alone, and do not set-up any partner to Him in worship, and be kind and good to the parents, and to the relatives." [Soorah an-Nisaa 4:36].
