The Ruling on Eating from Farms and the Permitted Amount
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Is it permissible for me, for example, if I pass by a vegetable farm and, as I pass, I pick one, say, to eat it? Is this considered theft, or is there no harm in it?
Answer:
If these crops have a guard or are surrounded by a wall, do not take anything from them without the owner's permission. However, if these crops have no guard and are not surrounded by a wall that requires entering and breaking in, there is no harm in taking what you eat with your mouth, but do not carry anything away from them. Rather, eat from them with your mouth only the amount that satisfies your hunger for them. Yes.
