Question:
Who cut the tree?
Answer:
He should seek forgiveness from Allah and repent to Him. If he gives charity, may Allah reward him with good. Giving charity is good. It is narrated from Ibn Abbas and a group of scholars that he said: For a large tree, the expiation is a camel; for a small tree, a sheep; and for grass, its value. If he does this as a precaution, it is good.
Q: Killing pigeons or sparrows?
A: It is not permissible. They are all game.
Q: What is the expiation?
A: For a pigeon, it is a sheep if done intentionally, and for a sparrow, it is its value.
Q: Is there anything authentic regarding the expiation that is traced to the Prophet?
A: I do not know of anything traced to the Prophet.
