رَوَى اِبْنُ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «لاَ يُذْبَحُ فِي اَلْحَرَمِ إِلاَّ اَلْإِبِلُ وَ اَلْبَقَرُ وَ اَلْغَنَمُ وَ اَلدَّجَاجُ ».
Ibn Muskan narrated from Abu Basir, from Abu Abdullah (a.s), who said: "It is not permissible to slaughter in the Haram except for camels, cows, sheep, and chickens."
وَ سَأَلَهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ: عَنْ دَجَاجِ اَلْحَبَشِ فَقَالَ «لَيْسَ مِنَ اَلصَّيْدِ إِنَّمَا اَلطَّيْرُ مَا طَارَ بَيْنَ اَلسَّمَاءِ وَ اَلْأَرْضِ وَ صَفَّ ».
Mu'awiya ibn Ammar asked him about Ethiopian chickens. Imam (a.s) replied: "It is not considered part of the game (ṣayd); game birds are those that fly between the sky and the earth and flap their wings."
وَ قَالَ جَمِيلُ بْنُ دَرَّاجٍ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ: سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلدَّجَاجِ اَلسِّنْدِيِّ يُخْرَجُ بِهِ مِنَ اَلْحَرَمِ فَقَالَ «نَعَمْ لِأَنَّهَا لاَ تَسْتَقِلُّ بِالطَّيَرَانِ. وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ: «أَنَّهَا تَدُفُّ دَفِيفاً ».
Jamil ibn Darraj and Muhammad ibn Muslim reported that Abu Abdullah (a.s) was asked about Sindhi chickens being taken out of the Haram. Imam (a.s) said: "Yes, because they cannot fly independently." In another narration: "They only flutter lightly."
وَ سَأَلَهُ اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ اَلصَّيْقَلِ: عَنْ دَجَاجِ مَكَّةَ وَ طَيْرِهَا فَقَالَ «مَا لَمْ يَصُفَّ فَكُلْهُ وَ مَا كَانَ يَصُفُّ فَخَلِّ سَبِيلَهُ.
Al-Hasan ibn al-Sayqal asked Imam (a.s) about the chickens and birds of Mecca. Imam (a.s) said: "What does not glide (in flight), you may eat it, and what glides, let it go."
وَ سُئِلَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَدْخَلَ فَهْدَهُ إِلَى اَلْحَرَمِ أَ لَهُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَهُ فَقَالَ «هُوَ سَبُعٌ فَكُلُّ مَا أَدْخَلْتَ مِنَ اَلسَّبُعِ اَلْحَرَمَ أَسِيراً فَلَكَ أَنْ تُخْرِجَهُ.
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) was asked about a man who brought his cheetah into the sacred sanctuary (Al-Haram). Is he allowed to take it out? Imam (a.s) replied: "It is a predator. Whatever predator you bring into the sanctuary as a captive, you are allowed to take it out."
وَ رَوَى عَنْهُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «لاَ بَأْسَ بِقَتْلِ اَلنَّمْلِ وَ اَلْبَقِّ فِي اَلْحَرَمِ » وَ قَالَ «لاَ بَأْسَ بِقَتْلِ اَلْقَمْلَةِ فِي اَلْحَرَمِ وَ غَيْرِهِ».
Muawiya ibn Ammar narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) that he said: "There is no harm in killing ants and bedbugs in the sacred sanctuary (Al-Haram)." Imam (a.s) also said: "There is no harm in killing lice both within the sanctuary and outside of it."
وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ سِنَانٍ عَنْهُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «كُلُّ مَا لَمْ يَصُفَّ مِنَ اَلطَّيْرِ فَهُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ اَلدَّجَاجِ.
Abdullah ibn Sinan narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) that he said: "Any bird that does not glide in flight is regarded as being like domesticated chickens."
