Is a brother who curses or beats his sister for not obeying him in a sin against Allah considered one of the warring disbelievers whom one must abandon?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Striking or reviling one's brother for not obeying him in an act of disobedience to Allah does not make him a disbelieving combatant who must be shunned; rather, he is a sinful Muslim. Shunning a disobedient person is a means of deterring and restraining, and in it, the benefits and harms should be weighed.
