The Ruling on a Worker Eating from the Farm He Works On

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am a worker on a farm. Do I have the right to eat from the fruits of this farm, the neighboring farm, and the adjacent farms? Also, since some workers give each other vegetables and fruits to eat, is this permissible or not? May Allah reward you with good. And is it permissible to sell anything without the permission of the farm owner?

Answer:
As for selling, it is not permissible unless the farm owner sells it or authorizes you to do so. As for eating, if the farm owner does not prohibit it, there is nothing wrong with it. Mere eating, if the farm owner does not prohibit it, is fine. However, if you know that the farm owner is not pleased with it, it is not permissible for you to eat from his farm or his vegetables without his permission. Yes.
