The Ruling on Accepting the Testimony of a Pigeon Seller
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The listener Ibrahim ibn Muqham al-Muqham asks about the ruling on accepting the testimony of a pigeon seller?
Answer:
The default for a Muslim is integrity, and selling pigeons for eating or keeping is a permissible matter. It is permissible for a person to engage in selling pigeons, because the pigeon is a permissible bird to eat. So if he sells them for eating or for keeping and raising their chicks, this is a work with no harm in it, and his testimony is accepted, unless there is in him something that vitiates his integrity other than what was mentioned regarding the sale of pigeons. Yes.
