A : Raising birds is permissible, whether in a cage or not, provided one fulfills their needs for food, drink, and the like; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the cat:
A woman was punished in Hell because of a cat which she had confined until it died. She did not give it to eat or to drink when it was confined, nor did she free it so that it might eat the vermin of the earth.
