Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Is it permissible to hunt the pigeons that live in mosques or government buildings, whether they are local or wild?
Answer:
The pigeons in the town are owned; the majority of them are owned. So do not eat the money of people. If you know that these pigeons belong to no one and are not owned, there is nothing wrong with it. The default for those in the town is that they are owned. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
