مَكْرُوهٌ قَطْعُ النَّخْلِ وَ سُئِلَ عَنْ قَطْعِ الشَّجَرَةِ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ قُلْتُ فَالسِّدْرِ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ إِنَّمَا يُكْرَهُ قَطْعُ السِّدْرِ بِالْبَادِيَةِ لِأَنَّهُ بِهَا قَلِيلٌ وَ أَمَّا هَاهُنَا فَلَا يُكْرَهُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Ahmad Bin Al Hassan, from Amro Bin Saeed, from Musaddaq Bin Sadaqa, from Ammar Bin Musa, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘It is abhorrent, cutting the palm tree’. And he<sup>asws</sup> was asked about cutting the tree. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem’. I said, ‘So (what about) the lote tree?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem with it. But rather it is disliked to cut the lote tree in the wilderness because these are scarce with it, and as for over here, so it is not disliked’.
