Please proceed to the second question. The second question, may you live long, I have a neighbor who is not religious; he leaves the garbage on your doorstep. You are honorable, and you sent him a message, but he does not stop. Is it permissible for me to complain about him, O Shaykh, or not?
Answer:
It is better that you be patient with him. It is better to be patient with the harm of a neighbor, while pointing it out to him and advising him. But being patient with him is better for you than complaining. Yes.
