The ruling on fruit purchased with the intention of cutting it

Question:
The questioner says: If a person buys fruit with the intention of cutting it, but leaves it until it ripens, is he permitted to benefit from it, or does the sale remain valid?

Answer:
If he leaves it until it ripens, he and the owner of the palm tree can reach an agreement. If the owner of the palm tree permits it, there is no harm, because the right belongs to the owner of the palm tree. He was conditioned to cut it immediately, but he left it, and it was nourished by the palm tree. So if they reconcile, there is no harm.
