- Maintaining kinship ties is regarded as such in accordance with what is customary, differing with the different places, times, and people.
- Kinship ties are maintained by visits, charity, benevolence, visiting the sick, enjoining good and forbidding evil, and so on.
- The closer the relatives with whom ties are severed, the greater the sin.
