Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa No. ( 20029 )
Q1: Is it permissible to eat birds that do not have talons but eat
carrion, such as the stork and others?

A1: It is forbidden to eat birds that do not have talons and that eat carrion; based on the authentic hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
There are five kinds of vermin which may be killed out and inside the Haramخمس فواسق يقتلن في الحل والحرم
Sunan an-Nasa'i 2881Sahih (Darussalam)
… and it mentioned among them: the crow, which eats carrion, and others like it due to the sharing of the operative cause.
