Family Estrangement: Am I Wrong for Keeping My Distance?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I am a married woman with a kid. My family stopped talking to me since my mother is under pressure from my other siblings by not giving me respect and always taunting me about my past mistakes. Due to which I maintain some distance with my family. Am I doing any zulm to my family by a keeping distance. They are all well off and I feel they need me except to be subservient.

Bismillaah

A: Don’t break away entirely. Meet them for short intervals so that they do not have an opportunity to pick up about the past.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
