Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, I work in a shop, and we place barriers in front of our shop to reserve the parking space for the shop's truck so that no one else parks in front of it. Knowing that the road is not harmed by this, is there anything wrong with this?
Answer:
If the area is yours, there is nothing wrong with it; you may do what you wish in your own area. But if this area is part of the street, do not act upon it, and do not place things in it, because this harms others. Yes.
