What is the ruling on a tree whose shade covers the land of multiple people?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Settlement
Primary text
If a tree's shade covers the land belonging to several people, those people have the choice: either to cut down whatever part is shaded or to take the fruit from the tree. This view is reported from Mak'hul.

The majority opinion deems this choice invalid, leaning towards the invalidity of the initial settlement regarding the fruit due to the unknown nature of the consideration, as stated above.
