The Ruling on Seeking Permission When Taking from Others' Property

Question
What is the ruling on a person taking a plant seedling from others without permission to plant it in their home?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Everything that is owned by others should not be violated or taken without permission from its owner; because it is a protected property, and it is forbidden to infringe upon it, and it must be returned, unless the owner permits it and waives their right. Therefore, you must return the seedling to its owner, and you should only take it if you have been given permission without hesitation, and you must not resort to such behavior again; so that you do not fall into what is forbidden. And God knows best.
