Boycotting a brother who curses the rulers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I have a full brother who frequently curses the rulers and princes. Is it permissible for me to boycott him? Or what is the Shari'ah remedy for this?
Answer:
Explain it to him, explain to him that this is not permissible, that this is the methodology of the Khawarij, and that this causes fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) among the Muslims. So do not do this. If he complies, fine; otherwise, leave him and stay away from him so that he does not affect you afterward. Yes.
