<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) It is unlawful for someone to prevent his neighbor from repairing or improving his house if this would not incur upon him harmful consequences.<br>
2) Cooperation and tolerance are from the neighbor’s rights.<br>
3) One should express his disapproval of neglecting a Shariah command in a manner that suits the situation. Actually, teaching people and calling them to what is good is one of the best deeds.
