Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is there a connection in the direction of the materials, or is it that when a person goes out into the land, takes a plot of land, and reclaims it, it becomes his?
Answer:
So it is necessary that there be guidelines: if the land has not previously been owned by anyone, nor is it a public or private facility, and he reclaims it in the manner mentioned in the Shari'ah, then he acquires ownership of it. Yes.
