The ruling on hunting the hoopoe and the kite, and on hunting the frog for consumption

Question:
May Allah reward you. In her final question, she asks: What is the ruling on hunting the hoopoe? Because some people say that it is not permissible to hunt it, and that whoever does so owes a ransom payment. Is this correct? May Allah reward you with good and benefit us through you.

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade killing the hoopoe and the kite, so it is not permissible. The frog—these three: the hoopoe, the kite, and the frog—it is not permissible to kill them, and it is not permissible to eat them; because whatever is forbidden to be killed or slaughtered is not made lawful to be eaten. Yes.
