Does the story of the hoopoe with Prophet Solomon include evidence of animal intelligence?
We have previously issued a detailed fatwa titled: Is it correct to say that animals have intellect? For further detail on the nature of perception in inanimate objects, birds, and animals, we recommend listening to the lecture: "The Servitude of Beings" by Sheikh Muhammad Ismail Al-Muqaddim.
