Preventing a neighbor from parking his car in front of his house
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Does the hadith "A neighbor should not prevent his neighbor from driving his wooden peg into his wall" imply, a fortiori, that it is not permissible for him to prevent his neighbor from parking his car in front of his house, given that some neighbors do prevent this?
Answer:
It is not permissible for him to park his car in front of his house, because this is part of his neighbor's access. He parks his car there; perhaps he wants to go out, or someone might come with him in a car, or something might be delivered to him, so he leaves the key to his neighbor's door with him.
