What is the criterion for boycotting an innovator?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the criterion for boycotting an innovator?

Answer:
If boycotting him deters him and he retracts from his religious innovation or his sin, then it is obligatory to boycott him. But if boycotting him does not deter him and may increase the evil, then do not boycott him; rather, advise him and continue to advise him.
