The ruling on cattle or sheep that get lost and enter into another person's cattle or sheep

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, in the section where a section comes and enters into the animals. Yes. Also, should he drive them away and strike, meaning the animals, or leave them?

The Shaykh : If a sheep, cow, or camel enters into his sheep, or his camels, or his cattle, he may drive it away. I mean, if it remains a problem, if it stays with him for a week or so, it gets used to the place and does not leave, but he should drive it away and hasten to drive it away, do you understand? If he leaves it, then the sin is upon him.

The questioner : And he leaves it and bears witness with two witnesses and leaves it.

The Shaykh : It is not permissible if it is of the kind that it is not permissible to pick up, such as camels and cattle; it is forbidden for him. He does not shelter a lost animal except a lost animal.

The questioner : It is necessary that, I mean, let us bear the thirst. What? Let us bear the thirst.

The Shaykh : It is not like slaughter, but the jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) made the criterion that it must be safe from the young of the predator, and they argued with his saying "for you or your brother or the wolf." Both are in a position between camels and sheep.

The questioner : Unless it enters into animals. What? Unless it enters into animals.

The Shaykh : If he drives it away or is unable to, he must search for its owner and call for it, so that it is a lost animal.
