DO NOT CAUSE HARM TO OTHER PEOPLE: 23

CAUSING INCONVENIENCE TO OTHER PEOPLE IS A MAJOR SIN (گناہِ کبیرہ)

When we (Hazrat Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani DB) were young we used to do the same. We would pick up one household item from its place and after using it would leave it somewhere else. When our father (Mufti Muhammad Shafi RE) needed that thing then he had to keep searching for it. One day he taught us that when you displace items of common use from their set place it is not just impolite, it is also a sin, because by doing this you are causing distress and inconvenience to other human beings, and causing distress to other people is a major sin. That day we learnt that these injunctions are also a part of Shariah and that causing distress to others is a major sin. These are all included in harming other people with one’s hand.
