Neighbors: preferring some over others

Question :

Do my neighbors who are also my relatives have a greater right over me than my neighbors who are not related to me, but are Muslims despite the fact that the former live further away from me?

Answer:

Relatives, Islam, and neighbors are three different categories of rights. The neighbor has three rights if he is a neighbor, a Muslim and a relative. In this case he has the right of Islam, the right of a neighbor, and the right of a relative. The neighbor has two right if he is a Muslim neighbor, he has the rights of Islam and the right of a neighbor. The neighbor has one right if he is a neighbor that is a disbeliever, he merely has one right (of a neighbor).
