The ruling on taking the fruit of palm trees in public streets
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, there are fruit-bearing palm trees in the public streets. May I take some of their fruit, or do they belong to the authorities? I note that if they are left on the ground, they rot.
Answer:
Yes, yes. We take from them and listen, and do not exceed, we listen. If there is protection on them, or an announcement that they are being delivered, it is not permissible. But if there is no protection, no announcement, and nothing else, then they are given freely; these are given freely to the people, yes.
