What Does Islam Say About Breaking Of Family Ties?
http://www.islam.tc/cgi-bin/askimam/...=3733&act=view

The order of maintaining family ties is replete in the Qur'aan and Ahaadith.
Hadhrat Aaisha (Radhiallaahu Anha) narrates that the Rasool of Allah
(Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, '(the personification of) Family ties
are attached to the throne saying, 'he who joins me, Allah joins him and he
who breaks with me Allah Ta'ala breaks away from him.' (Bukhari and Muslim)

Jaabir ibn Muntam (Radhiallaahu Anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu
Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'The person who breaks family ties will not enter
Jannah.' (Bukhari and Muslim)

Asmaa bin Abu Bakr (Radhiallaahu Anha) narrates that her mother came to her
at that time when she (her mother) was an idol worshipper. Asmaa
(Radhiallaahu Anha) enquired from Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam)
whether she must be good to her or not. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi
Wasallam) replied to be good to her.

Ibn Umar (Radhiallaahu Anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi
Wasallam) said, 'The joiner of family ties is not he who (merely)
reciprocates, but the joiner of family ties is he who joins ties when one
breaks ties with him.'

Hadhrat Abu Bakr (Radhiallaahu Anhu) and Hadhrat Mistah were close family
members Hadhrat Abu Bakr (Radhiallaahu Anhu) used to render financial
assistance to Hadhrat Mistah. When Hadhrat Mistah (Radhiallaahu Anhu) got
involved in the scandal against Hadhrat Aaisha (Radhiallaahu Anha), Hadhrat
Abu Bakr, being the father of our mother Aaisha was natural upset and vowed
to discontinue his assistance to Mistah. Allah Ta'ala advised him, 'Don't
you love to be forgiven?' Upon that, Abu Bakr (Radhiallaahu Anhu) replied,
'Yes! I love to be forgiven.' He forgave Mistah and resumed his financial
assistance to him.

In order to maintain family ties, forgiveness and tolerance are essential
factors.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

....and what about family members who are bent upon gossiping and back-biting? And although they are related by blood, their acts not only offend others, but they, almost, seek to disrupt the unity and solidarity between family members? Can you, as per Islam, isolate them knowing that they are good in spreading fitnah between those who are related by blood? They repent but they go back down the same road!

[nushentelve]

Jubayr ibn Mut`im narrated that he heard Rasulullah say: 'He who breaks the tie of relationship will not enter Jannah.'
Sahih Bukhari.

[nushentelve]

Abu Huraira reported that a person said: Allah's Messenger, I have relatives with whom I try, to have close relationship, but they sever (this relation). I treat them well, but they treat me ill. I am sweet to them but they are harsh towards me. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: If it is so as you say, then you in fact throw hot ashes (upon their faces) and there would always remain with you on behalf of Allah (an Angel to support you) who would keep you dominant over them so long as you adhere to this (path of righteousness).
Sahih Muslim.

Brotherhood and Unity amongst Muslims - Inter Islam Website - http://www.inter-islam.org/Lifestyle/brotherUnity.htm

Why is it that when the Muslims of the 21st century hear that there has been an earthquake in Indonesia, Pakistan or a Tsunami along the borders of Asia but do not feel pained? When they hear of such atrocities or sufferings happening to their beloved Muslim brothers across the world there is no shared grief or significant compassion? Why is it that today when we hear that our Muslim brothers and sisters around the world are being tortured mercilessly, their land and posessions destroyed/occupied; their children are being killed/enslaved in poverty and human rights are being annihilated, that we feel no pain?

While we are living and enjoying the comforts and luxuries of the 21st century, our brothers and sisters are being oppressed all around us. It has become such that we have become immune to hearing such afflictions. It has become such that we find it hard to shed even one tear.

My dear readers, whoever you are and wherever you are, have we forgotten the Hadith of Rasullullah ?

Rasullullah giving an example of Muslim unity is reported to have said in a Hadith:

“The Muslim Ummah is like one body. If the eye is in pain then the whole body is in pain and if the head is in pain then the whole body is in pain”

So we the Muslim Ummah, whatever colour, nationality or gender, wherever we are, are like this body. If we hear that any part of this Ummah is being oppressed, then we should feel this pain.

My dear readers, our oppressed brothers and sisters are crying out for help. They find that the Muslims of the 21st century are asleep and there is no one to help them. The reason why we the Muslims are collapsing is because we do not have any love amongst us. We harbour hatred for one another and our worldly matters and materialistic pursuits have taken over our lives.

Have we forgotten the beloved companions radiyallaho anhum of Rasullullah ? Have we even realised that they were of different colours and backgrounds. Hazrat Bilal was from Ethiopia , Hazrat Salman was of Persian decent, Hazrat Suhaib was from Rome and Hazrat Abu Zar was from Gifar.

They used to love each other more than real brothers. These were the Sahabas.

When Rasullullah made the Hijrah to Madinah, amongst them was Hazrat Abdur Rahman .

Rasullullah had just established peace between Hazrat Abdur Rahman and Hazrat Sa'ad Radhiallaho Anhu of Madinah. Rasullullah tells Sa'ad to take Hazrat Abdur Rahman as his brother. Hazrat Sa'ad says to Hazrat Abdur Rahman, “O Abdur Rahman, I am one of the richest men of Madinah, take half of my wealth and do whatever you want to do with it. I have two wives, take a look at them, whichever one pleases you, I will divorce her so that you can marry her.”

This is the love that the Sahaba had amongst them. Can we find any two people in the world like this today? And this is the love that Islam is asking from all the Muslims around the world today.

Has the time not come for all of us Muslims to unite again? The unity, which our Prophet has taught us, the unity that the Sahabas had, the Unity of Islam.

^ I am interested in this as well.

Who is considered family when one is talking about family ties? blood relations only? or extended etc?

[VEGLAS - SPB]

There's a very clear explanation of this in Beheshti Zewar. I remember reading it, but can't find it again. He has mentioned that only blood relatives are the ones you should go out of your way to care about. And even these, a woman is not required to go and meet them every week. She should just visit them like once a year. It's best to avoid fitnah, she should try to stay at home most of the time.

Something like that.

Abu Huraira reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Verily Allah created the universe and when He had finished that, ties of relationship came forward and said This is the place for him who seeks refuge from severing (of blood-relationship). He said: Yes. Are you not satisfied that I should keep relationship with one who joins your ties of relationship and sever it with one who severs your (ties of relationship)? They (the ties of blood) said: Certainly so. Thereupon He said: Well, that is how things are for you. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) then said: Recite if you like:" But if you turn away you are sure to make mischief in the land and cut off the ties of kinship. Those it is whom Allah has cursed, so He has made them deaf and blinded their eyes. Do they not reflect on the Qur'an? Or, are there locks on their hearts?".

'A'isha reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The tie of kinship is suspended to the Throne and says: He who unites me Allah would unite him and he who severed me Allah would sever him.

Jubair b. Mut'im reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The severer would not enter Paradise. Ibn Umar said that Sufyan (explained it as): One who severs the tie of kinship would not enter Paradise.

Jubair b. Mutlim reported that his father narrated to him that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The severer of the tie of kinship would not get into Paradise.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zuhri with the same chain of transmitters.

Anas b. Malik reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: He who is desirous that his means of sustenance should be expanded for him or his age may be lengthened, should join the tie of relationship.

Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: He who likes that his sustenance should be expanded and his age may be lengthened should join the tie of kinship.

Abu Huraira reported that a person said: Allah's Messenger, I have relatives with whom I try, to have close relationship, but they sever (this relation). I treat them well, but they treat me ill. I am sweet to them but they are harsh towards me. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: If it is so as you say, then you in fact throw hot ashes (upon their faces) and there would always remain with you on behalf of Allah (an Angel to support you) who would keep you dominant over them so long as you adhere to this (path of righteousness).

All ahadith from Sahih Muslim.
