If jealousy of people being in the Holy Sanctuary means wishing for their blessings to disappear, then it is forbidden (). However, if it means desiring to obtain a similar blessing without it disappearing from them, then this is called ghibtah (envy in a good sense). Ghibtah is praiseworthy if it pertains to acts of obedience, permissible if it pertains to permissible matters, and blameworthy if it pertains to acts of disobedience.
