If the boycotted person repents and the boycotting person persists in his boycott, what is our role toward the boycotting person?

The questioner : I mean, if the boycotting person persists despite the repentance of the boycotted person, what is the role of the other Muslims in this matter?

The questioner : Very good.

The Shaykh : After he repented.

The questioner : Yes, the man repented from his mistake, and the boycotting person is still boycotting him and persisting in it. Is there a role for the companions, relatives, and family?

The Shaykh : I understand from your question, and Allah knows best, that the role of the others is not for the boycotted person, but for the boycotting person. That is, does the situation reverse so that the boycotting person is boycotted?

The questioner : No, I mean reconciling the relationship.

The questioner : No, I mean... the boycotted person repented and turned back, but the boycotting person persisted.

The Shaykh : That is it.

The questioner : And he admitted his mistake, but the boycotting person persisted. So do you leave it? I mean, is there an obligation on the one who knows about this matter to go back to the boycotting person and warn him?

The Shaykh : That is necessary. And that is why I asked... As for the issue of advice, it has been spoken of byThe Shaykh : the preacher, that , and this was a reminder of the obligation of mutual advice. So if the boycotted person has repented and turned back, and the boycotting person continues to boycott him, he is in the wrong. We do not say now that the roles are reversed, as you hinted, jokingly just now, that the case turns into the boycotting person being boycotted. But he is warned that his role has ended now.

The questioner : And if the boycotted person tried once, twice, and three times, and the boycotting person persisted in his boycott, is there anything required of him? Is it over, or is it finished?

The Shaykh : Excuse me, what did the boycotted person do?

The questioner : He tried more than once to greet the other and get close to him, and that one refused and persisted. What should he do? Does he keep on, or is it finished? Does he hand his matter over to Allah? Does his role drop simply because he tried once, twice, and three times, or does he keep trying for his whole life...?

The Shaykh : You, Abu Yahya, are you speaking about the boycotted person?

The questioner : The boycotted person tried to reconcile the relationship again.

The Shaykh: All right.

The questioner : And once, twice, and three times, and that one is persistent in his stance.

The Shaykh: All right.

The questioner : So the role of the boycotted person now ends with trying twice or three times, and he does not keep trying to get close to him for his whole life?

The Shaykh : No, that is not reasonable.

The questioner: This is my question.

The Shaykh : Good. After I have clarified your question, his obligation has ended, and the case turns to the boycotting person, so he is the one who is sinful in the boycott. And that is why we said he should be advised, because it is not obligatory for the boycotted person to do more than what I mentioned just now, unless the matter takes a second branch, such as there being financial rights, and this boycotted person is not fulfilling these rights.

The questioner : It means he did not repent here.

The Shaykh : It means.

The questioner : It means he did not repent and did not turn back.

The Shaykh : And therefore you do not mean this. The role has ended.
