Simple way of maintaining family ties

Q: I have not called some of my relatives for a very long time. However, I do not have any negetive feelings about them. Will this be considered breaking ties with relatives?

A: No. But it is important that you call them in short intervals. This is one of the requirements for maintaining good family ties. One simple way is to send a message or email to them.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
