<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br> 1) Severing ties of kinship is strictly warned of being a reason for banning the perpetrator from entering Paradise.<br> 2) The negation of entering Paradise here is a kind of threat of the punishment, but it does not mean eternal abidance in Hell or permanent banning from entering Paradise.<br> <br> <b>Benefit:</b><br> Al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: “This Hadith can be interpreted in two ways:<br> First interpretation: it could be referring to someone who deems severing ties of kinship lawful without a valid reason or a misconception, despite his awareness of the prohibition. Such a person is a disbeliever who will abide eternally in Hell and will never enter Paradise.<br> Second interpretation: It could mean that such a person will not enter Paradise with the first group to enter it, but he will be delayed as a punishment for some time as Allah Almighty wills.
