Boycotting the Neighbors
A lady has a neighbor who lives alone and has no one to support her. The lady began to be kind to this neighbor, but then problems arose due to this neighbor revealing the household's secrets. Is it permissible for this lady to boycott this neighbor to prevent harm?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: She should not stop the kindness towards her, but should keep her relationship with her very limited to that extent, so that she does not get harmed by her. And God knows best.
