The questioner : Is the sidr tree among the trees of the Haram?
The Shaykh : Yes... In the entire Haram, it is not permissible to cut its trees, branches, or grass, except for what a human has planted. What a human has planted is his property, but what grows without human action belongs to the Haram, and it is not permissible to cut it. Whoever cuts it while ignorant owes nothing, but whoever cuts it while knowing must repent to Allah.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : No, the fruit is not part of the tree; there is no harm in taking the fruit. The fruit, and like the nabq. The nabq is from the sidr, and it is permissible to cut the nabq. And likewise the truffle. Do you know the truffle? The fuq? Do you know the fuq? So it means we must bring a fuq here and show it to you, otherwise you do not know it. In any case, it is well known, and the poet says to his beloved:
"And I have gathered you as truffles and esaqil *** And I have forbidden you the daughters of the abar"

The Shaykh : Yes.
