Question:
This questioner, O Shaykh 'Abd al-Malik al-Harithi, says: What is the Shaykh's advice to the brothers who have severed ties with one another for a period, and none of them speaks to the other? What is the Shaykh's advice to them in these blessed days?
Answer:
So our advice to them is to reconcile, to be forgiving, and to stop severing ties, because this is what Allah and His Messenger forbade: severance, especially between relatives, and likewise severance between Muslims with one another.

It is not allowable for a Muslim to keep apart from his brother
لا يحل لمسلم أن يهجر أخاهfor more than three days. When they meet, and one turns away and the other turns away, the better of them is the one who gives the greeting first.
فَوْقَ ثَلاَثٍ فَيَلْتَقِيَانِ فَيُعْرِضُ هَذَا وَيُعْرِضُ هَذَا وَخَيْرُهُمَا الَّذِي يَبْدَأُ بِالسَّلامِ.
