The ruling on the excrement of birds of prey if it falls on clothing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Your Eminence, the questioner says: I am a man who raises birds of the falcon species. Is their excrement ritually impure if it falls on clothing?
The Shaykh:
As for the birds whose meat is eaten, these are pure; their excrement is pure. As for the birds whose meat is not eaten, their excrement is ritually impure because they are ritually impure in themselves, so their excrement is ritually impure. Some scholars say that whatever is like the cat in its creation, or less than it, is pure, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the cat that it is not ritually impure, for it is among those that move about you. Some say that whatever is like the cat in its creation, or less, is pure by analogy. Yes.
The presenter:
You have done well.
The Shaykh:
Allah is the Greatest.
