A Dangerous Affair - Cutting The Ties Of Kinship

Allâh (Glorified be He and free is He from all imperfections) said:

فَهَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ إِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ أَن تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَتُقَطِّعُوا أَرْحَامَكُمْ (22

أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ فَأَصَمَّهُمْ وَأَعْمَىٰ أَبْصَارَهُمْ (23)

Would you then, if you were given the authority, do mischief in the land, and sever your ties of kinship? Such are they whom Allâh has cursed, so that He has made them deaf and blinded their sight. [Surah Muhammad 47:22-23]

Narrated Jubair bin Mut’im رضي الله عنه that he heard the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, [القاطع ] Al-Qâti’ (the person who severs the bond of kinship) will not enter Paradise.
