Abandonment (hajr) between Muslims is not permissible for more than three nights if it is intentional. However, if separation occurs unintentionally and a meeting is not facilitated, it is not considered the forbidden abandonment, and one is not required to seek out the other except for kin. A Muslim should be keen on fostering affection, kindness, exercising good judgment, and forgiveness. There are established hadiths prohibiting estrangement and a Muslim abandoning his brother.
