QUESTION: My aunt’s son says he is an atheist and rejects Islam, though he sometimes prays and fasts around family. I have advised him for years and tried my best, but he remains adamant in his disbelief. He is also dating a non-Muslim woman and plans to marry her. Must I cut ties with him, or maintain family relations without approving his beliefs and actions? What is my duty?
