Saalam Alaaykum,

How should we handle immediate relatives who talk behind your back, lie, look for weak points, etc.? They are "Muslim" by name but don't practice and try and find your fault. Should we stay away and keep our distance from people like this?

If someone constantly hurts you, it may be necessary to limit contact with the person/s for a while (e.g.. greet, ask about health) until problems are addressed and sorted out. One should not cut off relationships, especially with family members. Breaking off relations with kin is a grave error and will earn the displeasure of Allah Ta'ala.
