When is it permissible to boycott an open sinner?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner asks: When is it permissible to boycott an open sinner?

Answer:
If boycotting him deters him, so that he repents from the sin, then he should be boycotted. But if boycotting him only increases his evil, then he should not be boycotted; rather, he should be advised. Yes.
