Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also says that it is not permissible to boycott an innovator for more than three days.
Answer:
It is not permissible to boycott a believer for more than three days. As for the innovator, boycotting him is based on what is in the public interest. If boycotting him serves as a deterrent for him, then he is boycotted, even if it exceeds ten days, or even if it exceeds ten days until he repents. This rule applies to the believer who is neither an innovator nor a sinner; he is not boycotted for more than three days merely due to a misunderstanding between him and his brother. As for the innovator, and as for the sinner who openly commits sin, he is boycotted until he repents from his evil. Yes.
