Assalamu Alaikum wa rahmatULLAHI wa barakatuHU wa maghfiratuHU dear all,
I have got a question: If one or more of your family members, say your paternal aunt and/or uncle has continuously slandered against you and your parents for years, say for 18-20 years or even more than that, they have even tried to kick you out of your home and falsely swore on the Holy Quran against you, and if after having done all of this, one day the paternal aunt calls you up and asks you to meet her just one time, and she cries on phone, is it fardh upon you to go meet her? Cant you just talk to her on phone to make her feel happy because you know she loves you and has looked after you despite all the grudges that she bore against you? Is it "ok" to choose not to go meet her in person, if meeting her will only make you remember all those bad things that she did? All i want to ask you all is this, one is not being sinful if one does not meet their relatives in person, right?
JazakumULLAH khair,
Wassalam ma'al-ikram
