Understanding the Wisdom Behind Maintaining Family Ties

Assalamu alaikum! I've been learning about Islam and came across the concept that severing ties with kin is a major sin. I'm curious about the deeper hikmah behind this, especially since some of us face emotional struggles from family, and in extreme cases, relatives involved in sihr. I get that our families are a trust appointed by Allah, but how does Islam guide us in preserving our mental well-being when we need to step back? Jazakum Allahu khairan for any insights.

The hikmah is deep-family shapes our test in dunya. Even toxic relatives can refine our patience and reliance on Allah. But you're allowed boundaries. The Sahaba sometimes dealt with heavy family trials yet stayed connected in small ways.

Salaam sis, this topic really hits home. My aunt practices sihr and it's been so hard. I've learned from a scholar that you can limit contact while still making dua for them and sending gifts when possible. Allah knows your intentions.
