Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the grade of the hadith: “Boycotting a Muslim for a Year Is Like Spilling His Blood”?

Answer:
I do not know of any basis for it, but mutual boycott is forbidden. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Do not boycott one another, do not cut off ties with one another, do not turn your backs on one anotherلا تهاجروا، لا تقاطعوا، لا تدابروا
and he said:
It is not allowable for a Muslim to keep apart from his brother for more than three daysلا يحل لمسلم أن يهجر أخاه فوق ثلاث
Sunan Abi Dawud 4914Sahih (Al-Albani)
This is the well-known ruling, but I do not know of any basis for this hadith.
