Is it permissible for a neighbor to take money from his new neighbor in exchange for the partition wall between the two houses, which he built previously?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In modern housing, a neighbor takes some money from his new adjacent neighbor in the building in exchange for the wall he previously built between them. Is it valid to take this money?

Answer:
There is no objection if he wants to share the wall with him. The wall belongs to one person, and he wants to take from the second person what they call the construction costs, so they become partners in the wall. There is no objection. Yes.
