The questioner : ... the hadith regarding the neighbor ... it is easier for one to commit zina with ten women than to commit zina with his neighbor's wife. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 6014 This indicates that the rights of the neighbor are greater than those of others?
The Shaykh : There is no doubt. The scholars said that if the neighbor is a Muslim relative, he has three rights: the right of neighborliness, the right of Islam, and the right of kinship. If he is a Muslim non-relative, he has two rights: the right of neighborliness and the right of Islam. If he is a disbeliever, he has one right, which is the right of neighborliness, unless he is a relative, in which case he also has the right of kinship.
Gabriel continued to recommend me about treating the neighbors Kindly and politely so much so that I thought he would order me to make them as my heirs.
