On Eid days I don't visit my uncles and other relatives because they do not observe purdah when I am there.

Question

On Eid days I don't visit my uncles and other relatives because they do not observe purdah when I am there. They eat carrion halaalized by SANHA. They have television. They say that I am breaking family ties. Are they correct?

Answer

They with their haraam practices are guilty of breaking family ties. You are quite right for not visiting such relatives who have no care for Hijaab and who flagrantly violate the Shariah. You must be firm and ignore their criticism. But, be polite and respectful. With firmness, they will eventually understand the Haqq. Don't allow anyone to bend you as if you are wax.
