The questioner : What causes harm to the animal?
The Shaykh : But for the sake of benefit, just as an animal is branded with fire for the sake of benefit, and just as the feathers of a pigeon are plucked for the sake of benefit. When a person buys a pigeon, the first thing that happens is that if its feathers are left intact, it will fly away and leave him. But if they are cut short, the feathers will not grow back. And if the quills are plucked out, they will grow back, but not until after a period of time, once it has become accustomed to the place and no longer flees from it. Yes.
