Not Talking to Another Muslim for More Than Three Days

What do Quran and hadith say about not talking to another muslim for more than three days?

Answer:

Islam forbids Muslims to abandon (to stop talking to) eachother

“The believers are nothing else than brothers…” (Sural al-Hujurat, 10)

“Humble toward believers, stern toward disbelievers…” (Surah al- Maida, 54)

“Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves.” (Surah al- Fath)

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) forbade Muslims from abandoning eachother for more than three days

Abu Ayyub Ansiri reported Allah's Messenger (pbuh) as saying:

“It is not permissible for a Muslim to have estranged relations with his brother beyond three nights, the one turning one way and the other turning the other way when they meet; the better of the two is one who is the first to give a greeting.” (Muslim, Book 032, Number 6210)(Bukhari)

Abu Hirash as Sulani narrates from Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) that:

“Whoever is estranged from his brother for a year, it is as if he has shed his blood.” (Abu Dawuud, Adab)

Nawawi narrates from the ulama (scholars) that:

“There is a nass that it is haram for Muslims to abandon (stop talking to) eachother for more than three days. However it does exist in the sense of hadith that it is mubah (permissible) to abandon up to 3 days. Abandoning to 3 days is forgiven, because rage exists in the nature of human. Therefore, for his anger to calm down and remove, man’s estranging for this period is allowed.”
