What is the ruling on the testimony of a pigeon fancier?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The testimony of a pigeon breeder is acceptable if the pigeons are kept for legitimate purposes that do not harm others, such as seeking their squabs, carrying messages, or simply enjoying their company without causing harm. However, their testimony is not accepted if their pigeon breeding is done in a foolish manner, lacking decorum, and involves harming neighbors.
