What is the ruling on destroying another's property, and does the ruling differ between intentional and accidental destruction?

Allah Almighty has forbidden the unlawful transgression against people's property and has legislated compensation for what is damaged, even if by mistake.

Whoever damages another's property, if it was respectable and without the owner's permission, must compensate for it, whether the damage was intentional, accidental, or caused by them.

If someone ties an animal in a narrow path and it harms someone, or parks a car in the road causing damage, or leaves something harmful to passersby in the road (like mud, a pit, a watermelon rind, or water), or keeps a vicious dog that attacks people, all of this necessitates compensation due to transgression.

If someone digs a well in their yard for their benefit and does not secure it, they are liable for what is damaged by it.

If the owner of livestock leaves their animals at night and they destroy people's crops, they are liable for that; because safeguarding them at night is obligatory upon their owners, unlike during the day unless there is transgression.

The damage caused by animals is not guaranteed if they act on their own, unless they are vicious, or their owner is negligent in safeguarding them at night or in markets.

If a human or an animal attacks, and it cannot be repelled except by killing, then if one kills it in self-defense, there is no liability.

There is no compensation for destroying musical instruments, crosses, wine containers, and books of misguidance, superstition, obscenity, and debauchery. These must be destroyed by the authorities to ensure public welfare.
