Question:
Does one who cuts down some of the trees while ignorant owe anything?
Answer:
The most likely view—may Allah know best—is that he owes nothing. It is narrated from some of the Companions that he owes a ransom payment, but there is no clear evidence for this. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) issued a warning but did not establish a ransom payment.
