Hadith record

8. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Khallad who has said the following: “About a man who has slaughtered a pigeon of the pigeons of al-Haram (the sacred area) abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘He owes a ransom.’ I then asked, ‘Can he use it for food?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No, he cannot do so.’ I then asked, ‘Can he throw it away?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If he did so he will owe another ransom.’ I then asked, ’What then he must do?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He is required to bury it.’”
