What is the ruling of the majority of scholars concerning the droppings of parrots that feed on various vegetables and grains?
The ruling on the purity or impurity of parrot droppings depends on the ruling regarding the permissibility or prohibition of eating its meat. The majority of scholars, including the Hanafis, Malikis, Hanbalis, and Zahiris, have held the view that eating parrot meat is permissible. This is supported by the principle that the default ruling for animals is permissibility, and only what is explicitly proven to be forbidden is prohibited. There is no evidence indicating the prohibition of parrots.
Therefore, if the permissibility of eating parrot meat is established, then its droppings are judged to be pure, because the rule is that "the urine and droppings of animals whose meat is permissible to eat are pure."
