Abstract
Muslims believe that Islamic teachings involve guidelines and principles, which should be followed, to all needs of Islamic society, starting from spirituality needs, such as prayer, into economy and politics, including the relationship between human behaviors and the environment, particularly in the field of designing houses and buildings. In this regard, Muslim jurists have derived from the Holy Qur’an and the Prophetic traditions that have direct applications in the domestic sphere. There are many principles and guidelines that should be respected in the design of Muslim homes/neighborhood buildings. This article will follow and explore some of these principles focusing on two as an example; privacy and avoidance harming the right of others because of their significant effect on the neighborhood housing organization in the Islamic culture. The aim is to find out the importance of these principles and guidelines in achieving tranquility (sakīnah) and peacefulness in homes, in addition to show how people can avoid violating the privacy of the others. All that will be analyzed in the light of the Islamic culture based on the Islamic law, especially the Maliki jurisprudence.
Author Keywords: Islamic Law, Neighborhood Building, Privacy, Principles, Muslim Homes, and avoidance harming others.
