What is the ruling on taking pigeon eggs or fledglings from a house's balcony and windows if the pigeons come from neighbors and build their nests in these places?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to take pigeon eggs or chicks if it is known that they are owned by someone else, due to Allah's saying: "O you who have believed, do not consume one another's wealth unjustly," and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "The wealth of a Muslim person is not lawful unless given with his willing consent."
