The Shaykh:
The hadith is general regarding relatives and others. It is not permissible for a Muslim to boycott his Muslim brother, whether he is a close relative or not, but the close relative is more severe. Because boycotting him is a severing of the family tie. So it is not permissible to boycott your brother just because there is a misunderstanding between you regarding one of the worldly matters. If it is absolutely necessary, you should calm your heart for three days.Sunan Abi Dawud 4914Sahih (Al-Albani) If it is absolutely necessary, otherwise the best is that he never boycotts him. As for if the boycotting is in the matter of religion.
