Building Violations Affecting the Ownership of Others in The Saudi System and The Position of Islamic Jurisprudence

Abstract

This research explores the implications of building violations related to zoning lines and the unauthorized use of others' land within the context of Saudi law and Islamic jurisprudence. Zoning lines are established to maintain orderly construction and define property boundaries. Exceeding these lines can lead to penalties including fines and demolition. Islamic teachings also regard such encroachments as violations of public property, emphasizing compliance with established boundaries to prevent harm to others. Moreover, the research discusses the illegal construction on others' properties, highlighting that both Saudi law and Islamic principles ensure protection of property rights, stressing that any violation not only disrupts societal order but is also morally reprehensible, meriting both legal and religious condemnation. The study encapsulates the importance of adhering to legal and ethical standards in property dealings to uphold social harmony and justice.
