The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible to raise the kite (bird), given that it came on its own to a tree near our house without being purchased or brought in?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible to keep it, nor is it permissible to eat it, and do not drive it away. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, I am in need.
The Shaykh:
Are you keeping it with you, and is it one of the harmful creatures? Yes.
