Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how do we reconcile the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) preferred to use a palm grove for privacy, with the prohibition that came regarding relieving oneself in shaded places?
Answer:
This palm grove is not used for benefit. If the shade does not provide benefit or utility, then there is no harm.
