Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What are the conditions of permissible boycotting? And does boycotting depend on public benefit and harm?
Answer:
Permissible boycotting, if there is a grudge between you and someone and you are quarreling, and you are not the one who is lenient, meaning you do not forgive, then it is permissible for you for three days only. When the three days are over, the boycott must end; you greet him and he greets you. It is not permissible for a Muslim to boycott his brother for more than three days. They meet, and this one turns away and that one turns away, and the best of them is the one who begins with the salam.
