Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the owners of crops place barriers around their crops to protect them. If the livestock demolish those barriers and reach the crops during the day, are the owners liable to compensate?
Answer:
If they demolished it, that is proof that he did not perfect it or secure it properly, so he is the one who is liable. However, if the barriers were well-made and secure, the animals would not have been able to demolish them.
