The Ruling on Selling Flying Pigeons in the Air

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If I own flying pigeons, is it permissible for me to sell them while they are outside the cage in the air?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible to sell a bird in the air, nor a fish in the water, nor a stray or runaway animal until it is caught. Yes.
