The Ruling on Killing Game in the Sacred Precinct and Killing the Crow
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The Shaykh’s tribe, the benefits as well.
The Shaykh:
As for the prohibition of killing game in the Sacred Precinct, this is not specific to a person in ihram. Killing game inside the Sacred Precinct is not specific to a person in ihram; it is forbidden for everyone, whether in ihram or not.
The questioner:
And he told you that you kill with the stone of the person, that you kill with the upper stone, so Allah, he has a [matter] in a city far from his father.
The Shaykh:
Yes, you kill it to remove its harm from you and from others. As soon as you see it and are able to kill it, you kill it.
The questioner:
Or it is possible that he will make an appointment with his children.
The Shaykh:
What do you want with them? Milk. They say that there are types of them: the red crow, which is halal, they say it is permissible to eat because it eats from what is pure. And the speckled crow, which is the one with white in it. And the crow of separation, which is the one they call the crow of separation because they take it as a bad omen, saying it indicates separation, which is divorce. They take the crow’s call as a bad omen.
In any case, the hadith is general and has not been specified, and the crow has not been specified. If you want to benefit from these matters, refer to the book *Hayat al-Hayawan* by al-Nawawi or the book *Sharh Manzumat al-Adab* by al-Sakirani, for they contain information and great benefits. This commentary, yes.
