Fatwa No. ( 4717 )
Q: I have a farm with date palms that bear little fruit, have weak trunks, and occupy the farm without any benefit. When I wanted to remove the date palms from the land, some people told me: “Cutting date palms and the like is strictly forbidden.” Is this statement correct or not? Please inform us, may Allah reward you. .
A : If the situation is as described, there is no harm in cutting the aforementioned date palms, if Allah wills. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
