Question

I have a very big date tree in my yard, we have many birds that have made their nests in it. Now my gardener informed me that the top part is rotten it should be cut urgently because it represents a danger it can break n fall down with wind. What should I do?

Answer

If there are presently nests with eggs or chicks then you have to wait until the eggs have been hatched and the birds are strong enough to fly away. It is not permissible to destroy the nests before this.
