Question
How should one prune a hedge that obstructs the path during the Sabbatical year?
Answer
It is permitted for an ordinary person who is not an expert, as this type of pruning does not benefit the growth. If he is an expert, the pruning should be done in a way that does not benefit the tree's growth.
