Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to cut down neem trees or others? Is it permissible to cut down neem trees, or as he said, neem, or Nile.
Answer:
Within the boundaries of the Haram for the purpose of building a house, is it permissible? And if he cuts them down, does he owe an expiation? As for trees that a person plants and grows, there is nothing wrong with cutting them down. But as for trees that grow from the rain, he does not cut them down; he does not cut them down. And if he wants to cut down trees to build a house, he must consult the court. They will send a committee to inspect, yes, to see what is being done? Yes.
