The Sale and Purchase of Birds

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible to sell and buy birds?

Answer:
Which birds? As for the birds that are permissible to eat, there is nothing wrong with selling and buying them. As for the birds used for hunting, such as falcons and hawks, these are not sold in a sale. However, if something is given in exchange for them, given without a sale, there is nothing wrong with that.
