Is expiation obligatory upon one who startles a pigeon in the Haram of Makkah without killing it?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no expiatory offering (fidyah) required for one who scares away pigeons in the Haram (sacred precinct). If the scaring away was intentional, then it is forbidden, and repentance is obligatory. If it was unintentional, then there is no sin.
