The limit of neighborliness and the number of neighbors
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: Is there a specific number of neighbors from each direction?
Answer:
Yes, neighbors are those who are close to you. Some scholars have said that neighborliness extends to forty houses, but the correct view is that it applies to whoever is close to you in your street. The closest neighbor is the one you start with. If your neighbors invite you, you begin with the one closest to you, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: start with the one whose house is closest to yours. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
