  2. Linking blood relationships: • It is like the polite manners towards parents and children; revering the old and treating the young tenderly.

  3. Linking blood relationships is part of faith. The Arabic word Ar-Rahim (uterus, i.e. blood relation) is derived from Allah's Name Ar-Rahman (The All-Merciful).

  4. Linking blood relationships is done through: • visiting each other, • giving charity, and • advice.

  5. Be keen to maintain ties with one’s family. even if they try to cut these relations, show patience and do not give offence.

  6. Blood relationships are only to be cut with unbelievers (other than parents) or sinners, while praying to Allah for their guidance and forgiveness.

  7. Caring for the poor: • Money is the wealth of Allah and the wealthy person is Allah's successor of what He has bestowed upon him.

  8. The poor have a definite rightin the wealth of the rich.

  9. Only money spent on the poor or in any form of charity is what remains after our death.

  10. Feeding the poor is an expiation of some sins such as violation of one’s oath, game hunting while being in the confines of the Haram (sanctuary), injurious assimilation (of wife to mother) (Zhihar), and breaking one’s fast during daytime in Ramadan.

  11. Feeding the poor is a means to enter Paradise.

  12. The Prophet (SAWS) was an excellent example of generosity with the poor.

  13. Guardianship of orphans: • It is highly recommended • in the Qur’an and Sunnah.

  14. Islam repeatedly warns about the serious nature of the sin of exploiting an orphan’s wealth for other than their interest.

  15. Islam calls for protecting and investing the orphans' wealth with beneficence, • until they are at an age where they can manage it responsibly.

  16. Evidence from the Qur’an and Sunnah

  17. Linking blood relationships: • Allah says: • وَالَّذِينَ يَصِلُونَ مَا أَمَرَ اللهُ بِهِ أَن يُوصَلَ وَيَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ وَيَخَافُونَ سُوءَ الْحِسَابِ • [الرعد: 21]

  18. This means: • “Those who join that which Allah has commanded to be joined (i.e. they are good to their relatives and do not sever the bond of kinship), fear their Lord, and dread the terrible reckoning (i.e. abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which Allah has forbidden and perform all kinds of good deeds which Allah has ordained).” • (Ar-Ra`d: 21)

  19. Allah says: • فَهَلْ عَسَيْتُم إِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ أَن تُفْسِدُوا فِي الأَرْضِ وَتُقَطِّعُوا أَرْحَامَكُمْ  • [محمد: 22]

The Messenger of Allah (SAWS) said: • “Ar-Rahim (the uterus, the ties of relationship) is suspending from the Throne (of Allah) saying: He who keeps good relations with me, Allah will keep good ties with him, but he who ever severs relations with me, Allah will sever the ties with him.” • (Reported by Muslim)

The Messenger of Allah (SAWS) said: • “Allah created the creations and when He accomplished His creations, Ar-Rahim (the uterus, kinship) said: (O Allah) at this place I seek refuge with You from all those who sever me (sever the ties of kith and kin). Allah said: Yes. Are you not satisfied that I should keep ties with him who keeps you united and sever connection with him who severs you?” • (Reported by al-Bukhariyy and Muslim)
