The ruling on pouring diesel in a place where people sit in order to harm them

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: In one of the cities, in a place where some people sit and gather during the 'Asr prayer, and this place is next to a road for cars. The pedestrians have been harmed by them, as they bother the passersby by laughing at them, and they bother the car owners, meaning where they try to stop the cars with their eyes. So one of the people came and poured diesel in the place so that they would not sit in this place. Is there any prohibition in this action, or should these people be left to their own devices?

The Shaykh:
We have referred to this. We said: If the place is prepared for corruption or for harming people, then they are prevented from being in it, even by hinting at it, or even by pouring oil in it, because this is not a permissible facility, but rather it is a forbidden facility. But I do not know what he says about them harming the cars with their eyes.

The questioner:
From the oppressed. Outside the area.

The Shaykh:
Yes, especially since this illusion is what they imagine. He feared an illusion. If it is true that they look at you as if they are stopping you, the scholar is stopped, the jurists say he is stopped until he dies, not if this is known about him, and he has harmed specific people, and this is known about him. But mere suspicion and accusation is not permissible.
