MERIT OF RECONCILIATION

1639

“It is not permissible for a believer to stay away from a believer for more than three days.

After the lapse of this period, he should go, meet him and greet him. If he returns the greeting they will both share the merit of reconciliation. If he does not return the greeting he will be guilty of sin and the former will be acquitted of the responsibility for the separation between them.”

Abu Daud with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
