Question
Can I break relations with my sister if she does not follow Shariah Rules or at least can I become angry from her for one or two months so that she can feel she is doing wrong
Answer
Firstly, you should endervour to join relations by continuously encouraging her and speaking to her in a kind way. You should also apply a lot of wisdom and diplomacy in dealing with her. Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'Good relations are attached to the throne of Allah, saying, whomsoever joins me (relationship), Allah will join him and whomsoever cuts me off, Allah will cut him off as well.' (Mishkaat pg.491)
We should therefore be extremely careful in our approach and the way we deal with our relatives. However, if she persists in doing Haraam and evil, then as a last resort, you may severe your relations with her, but this should be done with the intention of reforming her.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
