What is the ruling on taking a cutting or seedling of a plant from a government institution to plant it at home?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Taking a sapling or other plants from a government institution is prohibited, except with the permission of the authorized individual from the governmental entity. The intention of the taker has no bearing on the religious ruling, due to the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Indeed, your blood, your properties, and your honor are sacred among you, like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this city of yours."
