Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to boycott a person whom boycotting does not affect, but the people who associate with him might benefit from this boycott, and this benefit is also possible?
Answer:
You know that the innovator and the one who misguides in creed is boycotted absolutely until he repents. As for the sinner, other than in innovation and other than in creed, if boycotting deters him, he is boycotted. If boycotting does not deter him, he is advised and the advice and forbidding of evil are continued with him until he repents to Allah the Exalted. Yes.
