Is it permissible to benefit from trees on public roads owned by the government, such as taking their fruits and leaves?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible to benefit from trees planted in public roads, unless prohibited by the responsible authorities. Sheikh Ibn Jibreen issued a fatwa allowing eating from them because they were placed for decoration and beauty and are not protected. It is preferable to leave them until they ripen.
