Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no sin upon you as long as you did not intentionally take the lives of those birds, for Allah, the Almighty, says: "And there is no blame upon you for that in which you have erred, but [only for] what your hearts intended. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful." Sin is only incurred by one who intentionally commits falsehood.
