Is it prescribed to raise a rooster so that when it crows, one asks Allah for His bounty?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, is it permissible to raise a rooster to seek supplication upon hearing its crow, given that there is a hadith regarding this? May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : By Allah, I do not know. I mean, what is prescribed for a person when he hears the crowing of a rooster is to ask Allah for His bounty. So, is it permissible to keep a rooster so that it crows and he asks Allah for His bounty? But I fear your rooster might be mute. No, this was not reported from the Salaf. What was reported from the Salaf, and praise be to Allah, is that you ask Allah for His bounty whether you hear the crowing of a rooster or not. Ask Allah for His bounty constantly. On the left, try this, look, not on the left.
