Khums: Can Grazers Use Water from Nearby Private Farms Without Permission?

English:

Question #1040:

Are livestock owners, who have permission to graze their livestock, allowed to enter private farms located next to the pastures in order to drink the farms’ water or give it to their livestock without owners’ permission?

Answer #1040:

The mere holding of permission to graze livestock in pastures next to private properties does not suffice to legitimise grazers’ trespass into others’ properties and usage of their water. They are not allowed to do so without the owner’s permission.
