Khums: Do Nomads Retain Grazing Rights After Long-Term Seasonal Departure?

English:

Question #1035:

Is the priority right of nomads with respect to utilisation of their pastures — each tribe with respect to its own pasture — terminated by their departure from that pasture with the intention of returning to it — given that this departure has been constantly occurring since tens of years ago?

Answer #1035:

The establishment of shar‘ī priority right for them with respect to the pasture of their livestock after their departure is problematic and it is better to observe caution in this case.
