On unswerving loyalty to family, regardless of what they do. We are held to a different standard:
O you who believe! Stand firmly for justice, as witnesses to God, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be for rich or poor: for God can best protect both. Follow not your desires, lest you swerve, and if you distort justice or decline to do justice, verily God is well-acquainted with all that you do.
Qur’an 4:135
Our way is to speak the truth even against ourselves, even if it pains us.
