Is free camping permitted in the Faroe Islands?

Mark Mayo’s answer is correct, however you may of course ask landowners if you can camp on their property. This is unlikely to happen often, so even if the answer is no, it is unlikely to be a hostile no.

I remember a blog with some Danes who did this and the landowner thought it quite amusing, rather.

From FaroeIslands.com:

  1. Camping There are no public wilder­ness or common areas in the Faroes. As a consequence, camping is only permitted at designated
    camp­sites (See page 88). Moreover, it is not permitted to stay
    overnight in your camp­ing cars along the road, at rest stops, lay-bys
    or view areas. Be aware that many camping sites are de­signated only
    for tents. Cam­p­ers ought to be considerate of the environ­­ment,
    keep the camp­ing areas tidy and clean up tho­roughly upon departure.
    Be­cause of the unpredictable weather even in summer, it is advisable
    to have sturdy, water­proof and windproof camping equipment. Fuel for
    camping stov­es is available at petrol stations.

So no, wild or free camping is not permitted – you have to use designated campsites.
