Q: In Islam, we are not allowed to break communication with someone for more than three days. But what if we have a valid reason to?
For example, if a Muslim rapes a Muslimah and they live in the same community, are the brothers of the victim supposed to make peace with the rapist. This is based on a real life situation.
A: Obviously, this type of behaviour is unbearable. Islam allows you to keep away from such a person, like in the case of Hadhrat Wahshi (radhiyallahu anhu).
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
