There is no Muslim who does not offer any du’aa’ in which there is no sin or severing of family ties, but Allah will give him one of three things in return: either He will answer his du’aa’ sooner, or he will store it up for him in the Hereafter, or He will divert an equivalent evil away from him because of it.


Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) [Ahmad, 10749; hasan]
