The ruling on killing harmful pigeons

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Another questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, this is my question. There is a pigeon in my house that flies over us from the neighbors; it belongs to neither me nor my neighbors, and it nests on the balcony of my house. I am troubled by the filth of its droppings. Is it permissible for me to get rid of this pigeon by killing it?

Answer:
Drive it away by whatever means are available. Work on the opening or window you mentioned, and put something like a screen on it to prevent the pigeon from entering.
