Is ownership ruled for a claimant regarding an egg if testimony states it came from his bird?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Claims and Evidences
Primary text
If testimony states an egg originated from the claimant's bird, ownership is not granted unless the witnesses further confirm that the bird laid the egg while in the claimant's possession. This is because the egg is distinct from the bird, being its product, analogous to a child being distinct from its mother.
