Analogy of chicken eggs to ostrich eggs for the one in ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: You told us that ostrich eggs are considered game, and that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “We are a people in a state of prohibition; feed them to the people of the permitted area.” He asks: Are chicken eggs and others to be analogized to them?

Answer:
Chickens are not game, my brother. Chickens are not game; the one in ihram may slaughter them and eat from them, and they are not game.
