Be Not Wronged, and Wrong Not Others

Question :

Suppose there are grassy fields on the outskirts of a village and if the inhabitants of that village are negatively affected by people who cut the grass from those fields and then sell it. In a place where this actually occurred, the judge ruled that some
of the livestock did indeed die from starvation. Because of how the fields were being used, many people had to move to other villages or towns wherein the greenery was more abundant. What is the ruling in this issue?

Answer:

In case that the authorities rule that livestock owners are harmed by those who cut and sell the grass, then an order may be issued, preventing them from further damaging the fields, making sure that the grass is left for the animals to feed on. In this case, as in other similar instances, we put forward the needs of the many over those of the few. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
"No harm, and no harm upon others."

May Allah send peace and blessings upon Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
