Fruit Falling Into One’s Yard
Question
What is the Fatwa pertaining to fruit falling in one’s yard and consuming it without asking permission from the neighbour?
Answer
In principle, the fruit by default belongs to your neighbour and should be returned to him. If you intend consuming the fruit, then permission should be obtained. [Re: Fataawa Mahmoodiyyah, Vol: 23, Pg: 379]. In conclusion, it will not be permissible to consume the fruit without permission.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Ifta Ibn Masood. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
