Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener, Abdul-Rahman ibn 'Ayyad Musa, sent a question saying: People among us differ regarding eating the hoopoe. Some say it is not permissible to eat it because our master Sulayman (peace be upon him)did not slaughter it, while others say it is permissible to eat it because it is a bird that does not have talons, meaning it is not a bird of prey.
We ask for clarification of the correct view.
May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is not permissible to eat the hoopoe because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade killing it. Therefore, it is specifically forbidden to kill it. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
