Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: When is it obligatory to boycott the one who disobeys Allah, and when is it not permissible to boycott him?
Answer:
It is obligatory to boycott him if he has been advised and does not comply, and if boycotting him serves a benefit, such that if he is boycotted he will abandon the sin. However, if he will not abandon the sin, he is not to be boycotted; rather, one should continue to advise him.
