Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1514/1313=B/1429)

The vegetables planted by your brother will be counted as his own. It is lawful for him to use those vegetables and also lawful for those to whom he feeds it. If the owner of the empty land says nothing then it means that he permits him to plant the vegetables.
