The answer

Islam has given great importance to the neighbor and has urged kindness towards him. This has been mentioned in the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet. The close neighbor has three rights: the right of Islam, the right of kinship, and the right of neighborliness. The questioner must be patient with what emanates from the children of the neighbors and should not get agitated, especially since the matter pertains to children's quarrels, which usually end in reconciliation. If there is no benefit from advising them, she can request her husband to move, in order to preserve amicable relations.
