Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
After this, a message reached the program from El-Arish, Cairo, sent by a listener who says: Sayyid ibn Mahmoud al-Jundi. He has a number of questions, one of which is: Is it permissible to hunt wild birds, such as pigeons, doves, and sparrows, using an air rifle or firearms? Knowing that when I shoot at them, I say: In the name of Allah, and Allah is the Greatest. Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
There is no harm in hunting permissible birds, such as pigeons and sparrows and others, with firearms; there is no harm in that, and praise be to Allah. If you catch it alive, slaughter it; and if you catch it already dead, it is lawful for you, yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
