Chachomim: It’s kosher. Summary All agree that if wood was stolen and used as schach, the sukkah is kosher and he merely owes the value of the stolen wood*. We know this, because the law of “a stolen sukkah” is taught together with the law of “a sukkah built on the street”. A sukkah built in the street is not on his land, so too a stolen sukkah is not one built on his land with stolen materials but a case where someone else’s sukkah is actually seized. An old woman came before Rav Nachman with a complaint, she said that the Reish Galusa and all the rabbonim of his household were using a stolen sukkah, because the Reish Galusa’s slaves had taken wood from her fields and built the sukkah with it. She cried out but Rav Nachman paid no attention to her. She said “I’m a woman whose father [Avraham Avinu] had 318 servants, and you daon’t pay attention to me?” Rav Nachman: She’s just a loudmouth, she’s only entitled to the value of the wood. Ravina (he came after Rav Nachman): A stolen wooden beam that was built into the sukkah is included in the takanah of Marish. We might think that since a beam is hard to find and the sukkah is not permanent, the takanah shouldn’t apply, so we learn that during the seven days of sukkos it is included in the takanah. But after yom tov the beam must be returned. But if it was attached with clay, he may pay with money and keep the beam.

When we learned above (22.5) that a stolen sukkah cannot be used, it was referring to a portable sukkah in which the entire sukkah was stolen. Tosfos: A stolen sukkah that is disqualified d’orayso may be referring to a sukkah made of stolen wood since it’s not an actual shinui and is only considered as belonging to the thief because of takanas hashavim. There is another case where a sukkah can be considered stolen, when someone builds a sukkah on his neighbor’s lot, when the neighbor uses it, he is considered a thief.
