Question:
**The hadith of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari: "It is not permissible for a Muslim to boycott his brother for more than three nights; they meet, and this one turns away and that one turns away, and the best of them is the one who begins with the greeting."** Question: In the hadith of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), does this mean that during the three days, it is permissible for him to turn away from him and boycott him without greeting him?
Answer:
Answer: Yes, the hadith indicates this, in order for the anger in his heart toward his brother due to the dispute or quarrel to subside. This is a human nature; it is a natural matter. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) granted these three days if it is necessary. It is better that he not boycott him at all, but if it is necessary, only three days, until what is in his heart subsides, and until the other person realizes that he is in the wrong.
