The answer

It is recommended to be patient with neighbors while being cautious of their evil and avoiding interaction with them that brings harm, and to meet their ill-treatment with kindness. However, if associating with them results in harm to one's religious or worldly affairs, there is no sin in shunning them, for perhaps a graceful avoidance is better than harmful interaction.
