Is it permissible for a man to set up a tent in public areas for himself and his family to sit in?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There is a public facility, an open piece of land within one of the neighborhoods, and the residents of the neighborhood benefit from this land. So one of the people came and placed a private tent in it, and he exploited it for himself. Is it permissible for him in the Shari'ah while he is staying there?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with him setting up a tent to shelter himself and his women and his stay. However, it is not permissible for him to keep the tent there permanently, because he is blocking the place from the people. If he arrives at a place and wants to sit in it for a specific, defined time, he places the tent temporarily. But if he places it permanently, reserving the place for himself against the people, that is not permissible. Yes.
