The branches of trees in my yard are overhanging onto the yard of my neighbour.

Question

The branches of trees in my yard are overhanging onto the yard of my neighbour. The neighbour wants the branches to be cut off. Can he demand this?

Answer

Yes, he has the right to demand that you cut the branches overhanging into his property. Even if he did not have such a right, morally you should cut the branches to avoid inconveniencing the neighbour. To maintain good neighbourly ties is Waajib.
