Why are the droppings of chickens, ducks, and geese classified as Heavy (Ghalizah) while other birds are Light?
Physical Impurities: Heavy (غليظة) vs. Light (خفيفة) Classifications
- Because they are land-dwelling domestic birds whose droppings are highly putrid and hard to avoid.
- Because they do not have bones.
- Because their meat is haram.
- Only during the summer.
