Question:
I have a friend with whom I had a dispute, and this dispute has lasted for about three months, even though he is a person of good and righteousness. What is the way to reconcile with him? Should I be the one to initiate the greeting to him?
Answer:
Yes, it is not permissible to boycott a Muslim. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 4914Sahih (Al-Albani) They meet, and this one turns away and that one turns away, and the best of them is the one who initiates the salam. So, initiate the salam with him and ask him for forgiveness and reconciliation between you two. Yes, you should be the one to take the initiative, so that you may receive the reward. Yes.
