Rulings on Boycott and Its Types

He also says: A debate and advice session took place between me and my brother, and afterwards we cut off contact because I forbade him from doing something wrong. Is this considered boycotting? Because I heard a hadith to the effect of: Please advise us, may Allah reward you?
Answer: The hadith is: As for the three days, that is a dispensation, but this boycotting pertains to worldly matters, when there is a dispute, conflict, or litigation between him and his brother. He may boycott him for three days or less, but he may not boycott him for more than three days. The best of the two is the one who initiates the greeting.
However, if the boycotting is for the sake of Allah regarding sins, it is not restricted to three days, four days, or more. Rather, boycotting is permissible and prescribed for one who openly commits sins, even if it lasts more than three days, even a year, even two years, or even longer, until the sinner repents, until he abandons his sin, and until he turns back from his misguidance and disobedience.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Companions boycotted three of the Companions for fifty nights when they lagged behind the Battle of Tabuk without a valid legal excuse. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) boycotted them and ordered the people to boycott them, until fifty nights had passed. Then Allah accepted their repentance, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the people to greet them and announced their repentance, peace and blessings be upon him.
The point is that boycotting for sins and religious innovations is not restricted to three days. Rather, it is restricted by the state of the person who commits the innovation or the sin he has openly declared. So whenever he repents and abandons his sin and his innovation, his brothers greet him. And whenever he persists in the open sin or the open innovation, he deserves to be boycotted, and boycotting him is prescribed until he repents to Allah from it. Except if boycotting him increases the evil and leads to greater harms, in which case he is not boycotted at that time, in order to avert the greater harm and the greater evil, in accordance with the Shari'ah principle of committing the lesser of two harms to avert the greater of them, and of obtaining the greater of two benefits even if one of the two worldly benefits is lost.
In summary: This is a significant status in which people differ. So whenever boycotting is better for the sinner and the innovator, he is boycotted for the duration that he remains persistent in his sin and innovation. If he repents and announces his return, his Muslim brothers greet him. And whenever boycotting increases the evil, increases the fitnah, and leads to more evil for the Muslims than his sin and innovation, or his evil and harm increase, then he is not boycotted at that time. Rather, he is advised and guided constantly, so that perhaps he may return to the right path. His error is made clear to him, and his brothers show him their dislike of his action and their disapproval of his action, until he turns back from it. This is done with care to avert his evil, reduce his evil, and ensure the safety of the people from him. Yes.
