The ruling on the owner of a wall wishing to demolish his wall, when his neighbor has placed wood on it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Yes, Adam. The first wall.
Answer : Yes, he has the right to do so, and the second person does not prevent him. However, if we know that this wall can remain in its original state while this one is being renewed, then we prevent him from taking it down, because this causes harm to the owner of the wood. How so, even if he did not have the intention? Even if he was harmed, because the borrower knows that it is in his hand, and he will enter upon it as if it were his property.
