They have been married  for five years now. I have a grandchild (one year old) by her and  another baby girl is due this month. I was communicating with her up to  the birth of her son a year ago. Then I stopped all interaction with her  because I felt I had given her enough time to come to her senses. My  husband and my eldest daughter also stopped talking to her shortly  thereafter. I would like to ask if this is fair to my grandchildren,  should I have contact with them? Even if not that often, maybe they  should see their grandparents now and then? Am I committing a sin by  seeing them? Looking forward to hearing from you soon.<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>We  believe that it was your duty to counsel and advise your daughter  regarding the religious rulings and her duty as a believer. You have  done enough. Now it is not obligatory for you or your family to  completely cut off all relations with her. You can visit them and  interact socially. This will not only give your daughter a sense of  protection and security but also create ways for her family and her  children to learn about Islam and its values. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-03-03<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6782\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My daughter married a <em>kitabi<\/em>  (Christian), against my and her father\u2019s wishes.
