(1) “Must not prevent…”: This is recommended, not obligatory. Al-Nawawi said scholars differ on whether this is recommended or obligatory. Ash-Shafi‘i has two views, Malik’s companions favor recommendation, as do Hanafis. The second view, obligation, is held by Ahmad and hadith scholars. [From Al-Marqah].

(۱) قوله : لا يمنع إلخ : أي مروأة وندبا. قال النووي الله : اختلفوا في معنى هذا الحديث هل هو على الندب إلى تمكين الجار ووضع الخشب على جدار داره أم على الإيجاب؟ وفيه قولان للشافعي، ولأصحاب مالك أصحهما الندب، وبه قال أبو حنيفة، والثاني: الإيجاب، وبه قال أحمد وأصحاب الحديث. كذا في «المرقاة».
