The ruling on boycotting a person who looks down on me

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah guide you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: If a person treats me in a way that indicates he looks down on me and does not respect me, and I cut off ties with him because of this action, is my action correct?

Answer:
No, your action is not correct. You do what is required of you, and he is responsible for his action. That is one aspect. The other aspect is that forgiveness and pardon are better than punishment. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:
like it, but whoever pardons and makes reconciliation - his reward is [due] from Allahمِّثْلُهَا فَمَنْ عَفَا وَأَصْلَحَ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ
[Ash-Shuraa 42:40]
The best thing is that you forgive and overlook it. You get the reward, and he bears the sin for his action.
