Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: When the date palms begin to flower and the fruit starts to ripen, some farmers place bags over the fruit so that the birds do not eat it. Is this permissible, or is it the right of these birds?
Answer:
It is permissible. He protects his wealth. It is permissible for him to protect his wealth by placing something over the date clusters to preserve them. Yes. The birds will find other food and go to seek their sustenance from Allah. Yes.
