Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was thinking of buying a big bookshelf for my room which is 80cm wide. When looking, I saw that the shelf has 2 parts on the top for screwing to the wall and a relative exclaimed that it will need to be screwed into the wall. My room is in the attic and the house we live in is attached right next to the house of neighbours and so my fear is that by screwing the bookshelf into the wall, whether the screws go into the neighbour’s side of the wall, even if it doesn\u2019t pierce through the wall.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was didn\u2019t want to do this and wanted to keep the shelf without screwing but then that relative who is used to fixing items up mentioned that<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t bought the bookcase and wanted to ask what to do, and if that relative gets involved with the set up then I\u2019m wondering how he may react if I explain why I don\u2019t want it screwed<\/span><\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Neighbours do have rights and amongst those rights, is to abstain from harming them and or damaging their property. In the modern-day, most houses even though they may be attached, have separate walls which are quite thick. Therefore, there would be no impermissibility in placing the screw into your side of the wall. Shelves and their related screws, in the modern era, are also designed in accordance with the structures of the homes we live in. To be on the safe side, you can discuss the matter with the neighbour. I am confident they would approve of you screwing the shelf on your side of the wall. Alternatively, you may select a stand-alone type of shelf that does not require screws to be placed in walls. One should also note that priority should be to the injunctions of Islam and not necessarily the reaction you fear from a relative. \u2013 (See: Al-Qaw\u0101id Al-Fiqhiyyah, Page 31, D\u0101r Al-Tirmidh\u012b)1<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him<\/em>) said, \u201cHarming others or reciprocating harm of others is not permissible [in Islam].\u201d \u2013 (Muwa\u1e6d\u1e6da M\u0101lik 1435)2<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Messenger of All\u0101h (peace and blessing be upon him<\/em>) declared, \u201cHe will not enter Paradise whose neighbour is not secure from their wrongful conduct.\u201d \u2013 (\u1e62a\u1e25\u012b\u1e25 Muslim 46)3<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him<\/em>) said, \u201cThere is no obedience to any created being if it involves disobedience to Almighty All\u0101h.\u201d \u2013 (Musnad A\u1e25mad 1095)4<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n
