There are two aspects to your query; a) Family ties, b) Having financial
dealings (loans, etc.) with them.
According to the Shari’ah, you have a right to claim the borrowed money from
your relatives. However, in doing so, you should be cautious as the
financial dealing should not harm the family relationship.
We advise you enquire from your relative the reasons for not paying the loan
and decide on any course considering the reasons for the delay.
and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
