(10) Chapter: Permissibility of cutting down the trees of the Kuffar and burning them

باب جَوَازِ قَطْعِ أَشْجَارِ الْكُفَّارِ وَتَحْرِيقِهَا ‏‏

It is narrated on the authority of ‘Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ordered the date-palms of Banu Nadir to be burnt and cut. These palms were at Buwaira. Qutaibah and Ibn Rumh in their versions of the tradition have added:

So Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, revealed the verse:” Whatever trees you have cut down or left standing on their trunks, it was with the permission of Allah so that He may disgrace the evil-doers” (lix. 5).
