The Ruling on Raising Pigeons
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Umm Abdullah, says: My son raises pigeons and spends a long time, in fact, between releasing these pigeons and sitting with them. What is the ruling on this? Are we rewarded? And do I and his father sin by doing so?
Answer:
If he raises the pigeons for sale and to benefit from their price, there is nothing wrong with that, on the condition that they do not cause harm to the people of the house or to the neighbors; he must keep them under control. But if he raises them without selling them or benefiting from them, this is an action that should not be done, because there is no need for it and no benefit from it, and it may cause harm. Yes.
