If the Maghrib adhan is called in Ramadan and I eat from agricultural land on the road that does not belong to me, is my fast accepted?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If one passes by agricultural land in Ramadan, and the Maghrib adhan has been called, and one goes down to the land and eats from its crops, and this land does not belong to me, and I am far from my hometown, is my fast accepted? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
If a person passes by crops or fruit, he may eat from them, but he must not take anything from them to carry with him. There is no harm in what he eats while passing by, and he may take from the dates or the crops, but he must not carry anything of it with him, unless this crop is protected or has a guard, in which case he must not take anything from it. Rather, if this crop is not protected or has no guard, the basis is that a person eats when he passes by it, without taking anything of it to carry with him. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) affirmed this, without taking anything of it to carry with him.
