I have small Cactus tree in my garden, I am told that I should remove them immediately.
Question
I have small "Cactus Tree's" in my garden, I am told that I should remove them immediately. The reason for this is the Jews will hide behind these tree's and therefore we should nor grow these trees. May the Almighty Allah reward you and all organisations and individuals working towards Deen.
Answer
It is not necessary to remove the cactus trees from your garden. The Hadith refers to a thorny tree that will assist the Jews. It does not specify which thorny tree.
