Question

My brother and I had an argument. I forgive him but he refuses to talk to me. Please advise what should I do in a case like this.

Answer

Continue to show him respect, and whenever you meet him, then meet him in a respectable way. Insha Allah, this approach will soften his heart and improve the relationship.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
