The ruling on boycotting one's brothers and refraining from greeting them

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on my not greeting my brothers and not speaking to them because of family disputes, or because of their injustice toward me and their taking my right?

Answer:
This is forbidden. This is forbidden. Severing ties is forbidden, even if they are not your brothers by blood; your brothers are the Muslims. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: They meet, and this one turns away and that one turns away; the better of the two is the one who initiates the greeting. So you pardon them, forgive them, and maintain ties with them, and you have a great reward in that. And if they sever ties, or if they boycott you, the sin is upon them. As for you, there is nothing upon you. Yes.
