Is it permissible to remove the barriers placed in front of shops on the public road?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some shop owners place barriers in front of their shops, even though the road is public and the municipality has prohibited this. If I cannot find a place to park my car, am I allowed to remove them, and would my action be permissible?
Answer:
No, you do not remove them. Only one with authority removes them, because if you remove them, a dispute or a fight will occur between you, and who will resolve it? Do not complain to the police; the police station will come and change this situation. No one removes it with his own hand except by the order of the one in authority, out of fear of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).
