The answer

The ruling on a person passing through another's land varies depending on the condition of the land and the person passing through it. If the landowner has enclosed his property with a fence or a barrier, then no one is permitted to pass through it. If there is no fence or barrier, then passage is not allowed if the person has another route. However, if he has no other route, then passage is permissible for a single person, but not for a group. Passage is explicitly forbidden if the landowner prohibits it. As for passing through a newly established path, it is permissible if it is known that the owner has designated it as a path; otherwise, it is not permissible.
