English: “And he shall send” — the bird that is sent away is permitted for eating. Why? The Torah said “send,” and the Torah does not command an act that would lead to a stumbling-block.
Permission after sending
Chazal rule that the live bird, once properly sent, is permitted for ordinary consumption.
