Question:
The questioner asks, Shaykh, about the ruling on hunting with falcons and selling them, Shaykh?
Answer:
Hunting with falcons is permissible, but selling them is not permissible because they are predators; they are bird predators, animal predators. It is not permissible to sell predators. However, if he takes compensation for his effort in hunting them and keeping them, he takes compensation for that, not as a sale, but as a relinquishment of his exclusive right to them; this is the category of relinquishing exclusive rights, and there is no harm in that. Yes.
