I planted date palms in my neighbor's land; is it permissible for me to take the fruit of these trees?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: If I planted date palms in my neighbor's land, is it permissible for me to take the fruit of these trees when they bear, even though I planted them in his land without his permission?
The Shaykh:
If he is pleased with it, there is no harm. But if he is not pleased, you are an encroacher, and this is not permissible for you. You must uproot the trees if he asks you to vacate his land. You must uproot the trees because you are transgressing.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Also, after uprooting them, you are liable for any damage caused to the land by the digging and the roots in it. You are liable. Yes.
