The Ruling on Eating the Kite, the Parrot, and the Hoopoe

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah guide you, is it permissible to take the parrot, the kite, and the hoopoe?

Answer:
The kite is one whose killing is prohibited, and as long as its killing is prohibited, it is not permissible for you to take it. As for the parrot, I do not know anything about it, but it appears that it is not lawful because it is a type of impure creature. The kite that attacks small birds, the kite that preys on small birds, this is the kite, yes.
The hoopoe is one whose slaughter is prohibited, and as long as its slaughter is prohibited, eating it is forbidden, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited slaughtering it: the ant, the bee, the hoopoe, and the kite. The ant, the bee, the hoopoe, and the kite. And whatever is prohibited from being slaughtered, meaning killed, it is forbidden to eat it. That is sufficient, and Allah knows best. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad.
