Inter-Religious Interaction From The Perspective of Hadith As A Source of Islamic Law

This study aims to know the understanding of the Ahl al-Kitāb and neighborly relationships and how the Hadith of the Prophet (s) views and regulates the neighboring relationship between a Muslim and the Ahl al-Kitāb. This research is qualitative descriptive research, with lafzi and thematic methods (mawḍū‘i). The results showed that the Ahl al-Kitāb was a very distinctive and special term and call that God used to speak to Jews and Christians. Neighborly relations are one form of social ties that have an important position in Islamic Shariah. The scope of neighbors is unlimited and bound only to religious boundaries, lines of righteousness and the principle of benefit, but is returned to 'urf, and not to a certain number. As a neighbor, an Ahl al-Zimmah deserves good treatment, the right not to be disturbed, the right to be understood with patience when making a mistake, and the right to obtain protection of himself and his property.
