Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I prepared a shop for trade, but my neighbor in the shop, who sells the same goods, objected to that and began to harm me. He says: Is this permissible? And is this competition permissible in the Shari'ah?

Answer:
It was narrated from 'Ubadah bin Samit that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ruled: “There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.”لا ضرر ولا ضرار
Sunan Ibn Majah 2340Da'if (Darussalam)
, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) says
