Sowing Discord Between Muslims

Question

Question: For a long time there had been friendship, love and sincerity between two men. Two persons caused ill-feeling between them. What is the ruling of the Shari‘a on this?

Answer

If this was done without a Shari‘a reason, then this act is a sin: one should repent of it, seek the forgiveness of the people between whom ill-feeling was caused, and bring about reconciliation between them.
