Does the religion forbid the slaughter of flying pigeons in even numbers, and obligate it to be in odd numbers only?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Pigeons are among the birds whose meat is permissible to eat and to sell, as they are beneficial. It is permissible for a person to dispose of their property through lawful means, so it is permissible for them to slaughter pigeons they own for their benefit, and there is no evidence to prohibit that.
