Question

Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
The Guinea hen is lawful to eat just like all other birds that do not have claws. The evidence of the permissibility of eating hen or chicken meat is that Abu Moosa Al-Ash’ari 
related that food that included chicken was being served and there was a man among them who did not approach the food, so he (Abu Moosa) told him: Come and eat, as I have indeed seen the Prophet eating chicken. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
Ibn Hajar 
said: “This is evidence that it is permissible to eat chicken, whether it is domestic or wild, and there is no difference of opinion on this among the scholars, except for those who employ obsessiveness in their attention to detail in the name of piety."
For more benefit, please refer to Fataawa 84822 and 222481.
Allaah Knows best.
