Question
Recently many branches of some trees were cut during the daytime for making way for ease in installing a water pipe to an overhead tanker. Numerous birds lost their homes. I saw them flying hither and thither near Maghrib time searching for their homes. Was this action permissible?
Answer
The destruction of the nests of the birds was haraam cruelty. The curses of the birds may settle on the destroyers. Such callous action is not permissible.
