(عَدَمُ الإِبَاحَةِ لِقَطْعِ التَّعَلُّقِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ)
(No permission to cut ties for more than three days)
Hadith 5034
وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَهْجُرَ أَخَاهُ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ فَمِنْ هَجَرَ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ مَرَّاتٍ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ لَا يَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ فَقَدْ بَاء بإثمه» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
It is narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is not appropriate for a Muslim to cut off relations with another Muslim for more than three days. When he meets him, he should greet him with salam three times. If each time the other does not respond to the salam, then (the one who offered salam) is absolved of the sin of breaking relations." Its chain is Hasan. Narrated by Abu Dawood.
