The ruling on the municipality prohibiting construction of more than two stories

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the municipality prevents building owners within the residential neighborhoods from building more than two stories, even though the landowner has ownership of its airspace as you mentioned. We said that he must not harm his neighbors, he must not dig deep into the earth in a way that harms the neighbors, and he must not build above the ground in a way that harms the neighbors. There is no harm and no reciprocating harm, so this must be taken into consideration.

Answer:
If the instruction in our hearts is that it causes harm to the neighbors, then it is prevented from this. There is no harm and no reciprocating harm, yes.
