Yaser Birjas - My Conduct with My Extended Family

About this lecture

In this comprehensive lecture, Sheikh Yaser Birjas explores the Islamic framework for understanding and navigating extended family relationships, covering the Arabic definitions of family, the three circles of family rights and obligations, the rules of *mahram*, and the importance of *Sila al-Rahim* (maintaining the ties of kinship). He addresses practical modern challenges including living with in-laws, the impact of smaller family sizes, stepfamilies, and the cultural pressure to redefine family, grounding every discussion in Quranic verses, hadith, and classical Islamic scholarship.
