Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A relative of mine took my inheritance and has been stalling me. Boycotting him for three days had no effect on him; rather, it only increased his oppression of me. I tried boycotting him for a longer period, and I saw that it had an effect. Am I sinful for this boycott?
Answer:
My brother, regarding rights, you have the courts and the authorities. Complain, complain, and demand your right. As for boycotting, it will not benefit you. Perhaps he will be happy that you boycotted him; he will be happy to be rid of you and your demands. So in this case, you have the means of demanding your right through the courts. If you have proof against him and evidence against him, then demand it from him in the courts. Yes.
