The questioner : In the summer season, there are young men who hunt some birds, and these birds have chicks that die of hunger, so I forbade them from doing so?
The Shaykh : The apparent legal ruling is that it is permissible, but it is better, if it is the time when they are hatching their young, not to kill them, meaning not to hunt them, unless he knows the location of their chicks, then he hunts them, goes to their chicks, takes them, then slaughters them and benefits from them.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. A long message arrived from the questioner, Husayn, from Makkah al-Mukarramah.
