Is it permissible to deter a woman who displays her adornment by boycotting her?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I have a sister who displays her adornment, and I have advised her, but she did not heed my advice. Is it permissible for me to boycott her in order to deter her?

Answer:
Yes, if boycotting her serves as a deterrent for her, and she is affected by it and repents to Allah, then boycott her. Yes. However, if boycotting does not benefit her, then you must advise her and you must compel her to observe the hijab, because you are her guardian. Allah the Exalted said:
Men are in charge of womenالرِّجَالُ قَوَّامُونَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ
[An-Nisa 4:34]
You are the one responsible for her. Compel her to observe the hijab. If she does not comply, compel her, even by striking and disciplining her, until she complies.
