Chapter on What is Permitted to Be Slaughtered in the Sanctuary and Taken Outside
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 عليه السلام 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."
