Is it permissible to boycott those people who have turned away from the Salafi call and opposed it, even though they claim to belong to it?

The questioner : Some of these people, of course, knew at the beginning, or when they entered the Salafi call and learned its truth, that they must, in any matter they dispute, return to the Book and the Sunnah. These people cause strange trials. All we can do is call them to the Book and the Sunnah. I see the matter as requiring gentleness in most cases. We call them to judge by the Sunnah. We have no power to speak with them or otherwise. Come, let us judge by the Book and the Sunnah. They refuse this. After this refusal, we see no good result from them; rather, they continue in trials, confusion, and disturbance among the Muslims. So, for example, if we were in a neighborhood and one of us was one of these people, would we boycott him for the sake of Allah?

The Shaykh : May Allah reward you. The answer is repeated and known to those who have a large share of contact with them. This returns to the principle of boycott. The principle of boycott is undoubtedly established in the Shari'ah, but boycott is a type of Shari'ah policy. Shari'ah policy requires that the one who wants to apply it be, first, knowledgeable and, second, wise, as the Mighty and Majestic said: . Boycott may benefit at times and harm at times. We often ask about so-and-so who does not pray, and he is my brother, my sibling, or my friend, or otherwise. We have advised him and spoken with him, and so on. What is your opinion? Should we boycott him? The same answer applies, but the details depend onThe questioner : his wisdom and knowledge. I tell him briefly: if you see, or it is more likely, that boycotting him will deter him, then boycott him. This is the place for boycott. And if you see that it may increase his distance from you and from your guidance and uprightness, then you should not boycott him. We give the example of the Levantine: they claim that a man used to not pray, then he repented to Allah and turned back. For the first time, he went to the mosque to pray, and he found the door closed. He said, "You are an alcoholic, and I am a sinner."
So many of these stragglers wish they would not see the faces of the righteous. If these people are boycotted, it does not become a victory for them; on the contrary, they must be maintained. Therefore, we must make peace with these people and be gentle with them within the limits of ability, until despair, until we reach the level where there is nothing in them... At that time, cast them away with a casting of the pomegranate seed! Please.
