DO NOT BOYCOTT YOUR BROTHER
FOR MORE THAN 3 DAYS
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"It is not permissible for a believer to forsake his (Muslim) brother for more than three days. If three days have passed, he should meet him and greet him; and if the other responds to it they will both share the reward; but if he does not respond, he will bear his sin and the one who (has taken the initiative to) greet (the other) will be absolved of the sin of forsaking (one's brother in faith)." *
* Abū Dāwūd #4912, and it is a weak hadīth. However, supporting evidence strengthen this hadīth. It was graded as authentic by al-Hāfiz ibn Hajr al-'Asqalāni in al-Fath, vol.10, pp.413.
