The Ruling on Boycotting Between Believers

Question:
And between things, it is a matter of reward and recompense between the Muslim and the Watcher, since they did not differ in the conditions of the religion, but they differed in some circumstances.

Answer:
Boycotting between believers, if it is for the sake of a sin, is prescribed when there is a benefit in the boycotting, such that it deters him from his sin or his disobedience; then he is boycotted. But if there is no benefit in it, and it may only increase his evil and sin, then he is not boycotted; rather, he is given sincere advice and not boycotted. As for boycotting for the sake of worldly matters, it is not recommended, except for the dispensation of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) of only three days. If it is absolutely necessary, he is boycotted for three days; this is a dispensation. And the better course is that he does not boycott him for the sake of the world. But if it is absolutely necessary, it is limited to three days, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) This is regarding worldly matters and personal needs. As for boycotting for the sake of the religion, there is a distinction in this, as we mentioned: if there is benefit, advice, and deterrence in the boycotting, he is boycotted. But if it results in harm and increases the evil of the one being boycotted, then he is not boycotted, and boycotting is not permissible in this case. Yes, and Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
