Is it allowed in Islam to abuse a non-Muslim neighbor?
A73. Neighborliness is sacred in the sight of Islam. Accordingly a Muslim should in no way harm his neighbors. On the contrary, he has to deal with them nicely which is the neighbors right even if they are disbelievers. If the neighbor is a Muslim, another right is claimed by him from other Muslim neighbors; if again the neighbor is a relative he has three rights: that of neighborliness, of Islam and relation. To treat one’s neighbors in general in a nice manner is strongly recommended in Islam by the Quran and the Sunnah. This covers Muslim and other. It also covers related neighbors and others.
