Primary text

If a lawful person captures a bird in the Hill area and its young perish within the Haram, liability exists only for the young birds. This is due to the sanctity of the location protecting the offspring. The mother bird is not subject to penalty because she was game originating from the Hill, and the hunter was lawful.
