Abdullah bin Amr bin As reported,

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no person who kills a sparrow or anything larger than it without just cause except that Allah عز وجل will question him about it."Someone asked, "Messenger of Allah, what is its just cause?"He replied, "That he slaughter it and eat it, and not cut off its head and toss it away."

عن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص

أن رسول الله ﷺ قال: ما من إنسان قتل عصفورا فما فوقها بغير حقها إلا سأله الله عز وجل عنها قيل: يا رسول الله وما حقها؟ قال: يذبحها فيأكلها ولا يقطع رأسها يرمي بها.
