Is it permissible for us to sever ties of kinship if our blood-relatives` gatherings involve acts of sin?

Answered as per Shafi'i Fiqh by Darul Iftaa Jordan
Is it permissible for us to sever ties of kinship if our blood-relatives` gatherings involve acts of sin?

Answer:
Maintaining kinship ties is mandatory, thus if visiting your blood-relatives hinders their sinful acts , then you should do so. However, if their sinful acts persist while you are at their gathering, then it is sufficient that you maintain kinship ties via telephone and the like.

This answer was collected from the official government Iftaa Department of Jordan.
