Reviving land that has been owned for centuries without title deeds

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If land has been owned by people for centuries and there are no title deeds for it, is it permissible to revive it without their consent?

Answer:
No, as long as they have a prior claim to it, it is not permissible to revive it; they have the stronger right to it. Yes.
