What are the reasons that permit boycotting a Muslim?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Al-Halabi : What are the reasons that permit boycotting a Muslim, and if it is permitted, what are its limits in terms of boycotting and severing ties, and in terms of duration?

The Shaykh : Repeat the question for me.
Al-Halabi : What are the reasons that permit boycotting a Muslim, and if it is permitted, what are its limits in terms of ...?

The Shaykh : Take it one by one, what else ... memorize the questions. The reasons that permit boycotting a Muslim, yes, are undoubtedly the Muslim's persistence in committing forbidden acts, which he knows are forbidden in Islam. If he persists in that, it is permissible to boycott him and sever ties with him. The second question, the second part of the question?
Al-Halabi : I am adding to the same question, the first part. I mean, is boycotting innovations and the people of innovation also from this category?

The Shaykh : From this category, but this requires an explanation as mentioned earlier.
Al-Halabi : That is, he knows.

The Shaykh : Yes.
Al-Halabi : So what are its limits in terms of boycotting, severing ties, and duration?

The Shaykh : The limits: It is clear that if the open sinner, the wicked one who persists in his disobedience to his Lord, continues, his boycotting and severing of ties continues until he repents to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). If he repents, we repent and we return to maintaining ties, as our Lord (Blessed and Exalted is He) commands us. So the duration is in the hand of the one who is boycotting; it is in his hand to lengthen it, and it is in his hand to shorten it. Yes, that is all.
