Islam sets different rights for the neighbor, they are so important that he might be one of the family members, the prophet (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Gabriel keeps recommending me to care for neighbor until I thought he was going to give him a share of inheritance.”
Islam divided neighbors into three types:
1- A Muslim relative neighbor, he has three rights, as a Muslim, as a relative and as a neighbor.
2- A Muslim but not a relative neighbor, he has the See More▼ rights of a neighbor and the rights of a Muslim.
3- Non-Muslim and non relative neighbor, he has the rights of a neighbor.
The rights of a neighbor due to the three types above is to help him if he needs help, to ask about him if he is absent, to visit him if he is ill, to congratulate and share him on happy occasions, to console and share him his grieves and to take care of his children if he travels. You shouldn’t make anything in your house that hurts him, if you cook food that he could smell and you know that he loves it, you should ladle some to him, if you give your children food or fruit or sweets and they went out to play with your neighbor’s children, you should give them as you give your children. You shouldn’t spy upon him. You should keep his privates (defects or secrets).you should keep his cordiality and not to stop your support or your help to him.
It was narrated after Abdullah Ibn-Amr Ibn-Al-Aas that the apostle of Allah said: “Do you know what the right of a neighbor is, if he asks your support, you should support him. If he asks you for money, you should lend him. If he is poor, you should help him.
