Boycotting those who differ in acts of worship and methods of da'wah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some of the brothers differ from the path of the misguided in some of their acts of worship and methods of da'wah, so they do not hate them and do not turn people away from them if they give sincere advice and do not lie in wait. Some of them say the issue is a matter of dispute, and they have severity with Allah in this, so there is no need for such a disagreement.

Answer:
Boycotting between Muslims is not permissible, and what is obligatory between Muslims is love for one another. If a person makes a mistake due to ijtihad (independent legal reasoning) and with the intention of doing good, this does not necessitate that he be boycotted or hated. Rather, the path of correctness is explained to him, meaning the correct path is made clear to him. If he accepts it, praise be to Allah; otherwise, he is not boycotted because he is a Muslim and a believer, so he is not boycotted. Yes.
