Placing sheep and camel pens near the residence

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is it permissible to place a pen for sheep or camels near the residence, given that there is a farm there? Is this a form of harm? And do I have the right to advise him, or should I endure this harm? Or is it the camels near the residence, since it is in a farm? Is this a form of harm? And do I have the right to advise him, or should I endure this harm?

Answer:
Yes, do not place a pen for sheep or livestock next to your neighbor, because this harms the neighbor through the odors and the insects that spread from this pen and this place for the animals. This does not harm the neighbors; place the pen away from the harm to the neighbor.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
