Summary
The hadith exists and is narrated by Abu Daud from Abi Khirash al-Sulami, with a chain that Shaykh Shu'aib al-Arna'outh graded as sound. The brother meant is a fellow Muslim, and the act resembles shedding blood in the increase of sin, not in its degree. Quarrelling between Muslims without a valid shari'ah reason is forbidden, and a sound hadith in Muslim states it is not lawful to cut off speech beyond three days. One who severs family and kinship ties will not enter Paradise, according to a hadith in al-Bukhari.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, hadith yang menceritakan bahawa orang yang tidak bertegur saudaranya selama setahun sama seperti dia telah menumpahkan darahnya adalah hadith yang sahih.
