The questioner : My brother, I said that regarding the killing of birds for the purpose of taxidermy, in one of the tapes, I said that killing birds for taxidermy and killing animals is not permissible in the Shari'ah except for a benefit.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : And when I came to you and said it is permissible for trade.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : And in that tape, I said to my father that trade is not permissible because it is not the intended benefit.
The Shaykh : It is not permissible, my brother, because this is a benefit. Is it not permissible to benefit from the skins of wild beasts, such as for shoes and clothing and the like, with the known conditions in the books of fiqh?
