The ruling on a person eating from the produce of a date palm his father endowed for the poor

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Muhammad from al-Kharj. He says: My father (may Allah have mercy on him) set aside a date palm as a public benefit (sabil) for my father (may Allah have mercy on them all). Is it permissible for us to eat from its date produce and distribute it among the heirs? Knowing that my father (may Allah have mercy on him) did not specify, but only said "sabil for my father."

Answer:
Yes, the needy are to be provided for from it. So if you are in need, you are the most deserving to eat from it. And if you are self-sufficient, it is to be given to the poor and the needy. Yes.
