Relatives who disagreed and boycotted each other for six years, and are now asking about the ruling and what is obligatory for them

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. Relatives disagreed over a specific issue, and as a result of this disagreement, they boycotted each other for six years. They are now asking, Shaykh Salih, what is the ruling, and what is obligatory for them? Especially since, as they say, the matter was trivial. May Allah grant you success.

Answer:
It is not permissible to boycott a Muslim, and if it is necessary, only for three days. Whoever exceeds three days, it is not permissible if this boycott is for matters of this world. However, if it is a religious boycott due to abandoning an obligatory act or committing a forbidden act, and he does not abandon it, then he is boycotted until he abandons that thing. But if it is for a worldly matter or merely a psychological matter, something in the hearts, then this is forbidden. What you did is forbidden, and you are sinful for it. But the solution is that you be tolerant with one another, and some of you forgive others, and you seek forgiveness from Allah, and repent to Him for what happened, and do not return to such a thing. Yes.
