Is it permissible to cut ties with a non-practicing friend whom one fears might cause some of one's principles to regress, while also fearing that her hatred for practicing Muslims might increase and she might distance herself from Islam?

If a Muslim woman's relationship with her female colleague harms her religion, she must boycott her to safeguard her faith. Preserving the integrity of one's religion takes precedence. The boycott might also serve as a deterrent for the colleague. It is good to inform her of the reason for the boycott while maintaining a "beautiful abandonment," which is an abandonment free from offense. Scholars have unanimously agreed on the permissibility of boycotting for more than three days someone whose conversation brings about a deficiency in religion or harm. There is no objection to supplicating for her in her absence.
