Dealing with a Harmful Neighbor

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I have a harmful neighbor. My neighbors and I have been patient with him, but he does not return our salam. How should we deal with this? May you be rewarded.

Answer:
Be good to him and fulfill what is obligatory toward him. Be good to him and greet him with the salam. That is, be gentle with him as well. Be good to him by giving him gifts, be good to him by inviting him to your homes, and advise him if you see him falling short. This is his right over you. The important thing is that you fulfill what is obligatory upon you, and he is responsible for what is obligatory upon him. Yes.
