The Ruling on Dealing with Those Who Deviate from the Salaf

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. Many questions have come in asking about the ruling on dealing with neighbors, or employees, or managers who deviate from the Salaf,

Answer:
as we mentioned recently. There are two obligatory matters. The first is to advise and admonish them in the best manner. If they comply, that is well; otherwise, their case is to be reported to the authorities, to the departments of Hisbah, to the levels of Hisbah in the neighborhoods. Their case is to be reported to the nearest center so that the obligatory duty toward them is carried out. This is all we can do. Also, if they persist, and if they do not persist in [the deviation], then we boycott them; we do not sit with them and we do not visit them until they repent to Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Yes. Even if it is for two years, boycotting is required if there is a religious benefit in it. They deceive them, so they are boycotted.
