Ruling on boycotting those who align with factions
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q249: The questioner asks: Is it permissible to boycott one who aligns with any faction?
A249: If the faction is contrary to the people of the Sunnah and the community, it is obligatory to boycott it, and one should not align with it, but rather return to the truth and to those with whom the truth is, and to those who follow the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community. Allah the Exalted said:[At-Tawbah 9:119], and He the Exalted said: [Al-Baqarah 2:100]. So one should follow the methodology of the truth; the methodology of the righteous predecessors, and not be fanatical toward those who are in opposition.

Allah the Exalted said:
O you who have believed, fear Allah and be with those who are true.
يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَكُونُوا مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَIs it not [true] that every time they took a covenant a party of them threw it away? But, [in fact], most of them do not believe.
أَوَكُلَّمَا عَاهَدُوا عَهْدًا نَبَذَهُ فَرِيقٌ مِنْهُمْ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ
