The answer

The basic principle is the prohibition of a Muslim forsaking his brother for more than three nights, unless associating with him would cause harm to the forsaken person in his religious or worldly affairs. In such a case, it is permissible to reduce communication with him to the extent that does not cause harm. The prohibited forsaking is removed by greeting him with "peace" (Salam) or similar gestures, according to the majority of scholars.
