ANSWER:

You must maintain ties by meeting them every now and then if they live near by or give them calls if they live far away but you cannot stop talking with them for this long. 

I don’t spend much time with my family (other than my parents and siblings) I’d like to know if I have to call my grandma,uncles,aunties every now and then or is it okay if I don’t call them at all but when I see them somewhere I talk to them and say سلم. Is that considered as breaking ties? What if I don’t see them for years/months but I don’t hate them

Do we have to maintain ties with every single relative or just most of them?

If we have brother and sisters who we KNOW they dont pray OUT OF LAZINESS. Is it fard upon us to boycott them? Or can we still hang out with them and talk. Sadly MANY peoplr around us from freinds and family dont pray. They would never drink alcohol or zina etc because its haraam but everyone seems sooooo leniet when it comes to prayer.
