The answer

It is recommended to be patient with the neighbor, repelling her misdeeds with kindness and forgiveness, maintaining the Fajr prayer in congregation, and adhering to the morning and evening remembrances (dhikr). It is also recommended to invite her to faith and virtuous morals through dialogue, lending her beneficial رسائل (epistles/messages) and tapes, dealing with her in the best manner, and greeting her with salaam, and discussing the matter with her calmly. If these means are ineffective, then the belongings can be taken out and placed on the road so that the neighbors may know of her bad conduct, as this might lead her to cease her harm.
