What is the ruling on eating from trees in a wide, privately-owned area intended for housing and without a fence, belonging to a poor lady who asks for compensation for the owner, knowing that the owner does not benefit from the fruits? What is the ruling on giving charity from the fruits as well? And in which places with fruits can we eat, especially in areas for excursions?
