Boycott Between Brothers and the Sin of Severing Ties
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I had a dispute with one of my brothers over a trivial matter. I tried repeatedly to renew the relationship and end the boycott, but I found refusal every time. He does not speak to me, and neither of us greets the other. Do I sin in this matter?
Answer:
You do not sin; it is he who sins by severing the tie. As for you, you are rewarded for maintaining the tie of kinship. Yes.
