Guarantee for livestock that destroy crops or are run over by a car

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If the owner of livestock has his animals enter a crop, is he required to pay compensation? Does he compensate the owner of the crop?

The Shaykh:
In Riyadh, if it is in Riyadh.

The questioner:
During the day.

The Shaykh:
If Khalid grazes his livestock around the well, he owes nothing; and if it is far away, he owes nothing, because the people of the place are at fault.

The questioner:
What about a car that, for example, runs over livestock? Does the owner of the livestock receive compensation?

The Shaykh:
This is a matter that requires consideration. One might argue that the matter is left to the courts; because the owner may have been negligent, leaving his animal by the road and being careless, or leaving a beast by the road and being negligent, or it may have come from far away and he was not negligent with it.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you.

Another questioner:
From the margins.

The Shaykh:
Meaning, if this happens, the court is consulted. Yes.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you
