If orchards are abandoned by their owner, there is no harm in gathering dry firewood from them and benefiting from it, according to Ibn Qudamah, who said: "Whoever precedes to something permissible, such as hunting, ambergris, firewood, fruits, and what people cast off due to their disinterest in it, then he has more right to it."
