Ruling on boycotting a person who commits sin
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He has another section in which he asks: What are the limits of a brother boycotting his brother? And if I boycott my son for three days and nights to discipline him for a sin, is this permissible?
Answer:
Yes, the limit of boycotting between brothers is three days, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 63:255 In the other wording, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 2560a This refers to rights between people, worldly rights, disputes or the like. However, if the boycott is for the sake of Allah, due to a religious innovation or open sins, then it has no limit. He may boycott him until he repents. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) boycotted Ka'b ibn Malik and his two companions when they lagged behind the expedition to Tabuk without an excuse. He boycotted them for fifty nights (peace and blessings be upon him) until Allah accepted their repentance.
The point is that if there is a dispute between you and him, or he insulted you, or he abused you, then there is no harm in boycotting him, but the duration should be three days or less. However, if it is for the sake of Allah, because he is an innovator, or he commits open sins and does not accept advice, then he is boycotted until he repents.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, Your Eminence the Shaykh.

Answer:
Yes, the limit of boycotting between brothers is three days, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
There is no boycotting for more than three days
لا هجرة فوق ثلاثIt is not permissible for a Muslim to have estranged relations with his brother beyond three nights, the one turning one way and the other turning the other way when they meet; the better of the two is one who is the first to give a greeting.
لا يحل لمسلم أن يهجر أخاه فوق ثلاث، يلتقيان فيعرض هذا، ويعرض هذا، وخيرهما الذي يبدأ بالسلامThe point is that if there is a dispute between you and him, or he insulted you, or he abused you, then there is no harm in boycotting him, but the duration should be three days or less. However, if it is for the sake of Allah, because he is an innovator, or he commits open sins and does not accept advice, then he is boycotted until he repents.
