be permissible to eat. This is the view of all the fuqaha’
➢ The Hanafis and Maalikis are of the view that there is no
stipulation that the prey should be an animal whose flesh may
be eaten; rather in their view it is permissible to hunt both
animals whose flesh may be eaten and those whose flesh may
not be eaten, for the purpose of obtaining its skin, hair or
feathers, or to ward off its evil (i.e., if it is posing a danger to
people)

as permissible to hunt or slaughter any animal whose flesh
may not be eaten.

when it is alive is maytah (‘dead meat’).” Narrated by Abu

permissible

➢ It is permissible to hunt with bullets; whatever is shot with
bullets, such as birds, rabbits and gazelles, and the name of
Allah was invoked over it at the moment of opening fire, is
halaal and may be eaten, even if it is found dead
➢ The fuqaha’ are of the view that it is not permissible to hunt
with poisoned arrows if it is certain or thought most likely that
the poison will help to kill the prey or that is possible
➢ But if it is not possible (that the poison could kill the animal),
then it is not haram to eat it.

killed by the tools and not by the poison.

other carnivores and birds which have fangs and talons,
respectively. Trained dogs, lynxes, tigers, lions, falcons and
other trained hunting-animals, such as various types of
falcons, hawks and eagles are all the same in that regard.
➢ The animal should be trained, according to the consensus of
the fuqaha’, because Allah, says (interpretation of the
meaning): “And those beasts and birds of prey which you have
trained…” [al-Maa’idah 5:4].

not, the hunter must slaughter the animal 49
before the animal dies
➢ The animal should wound the prey in any part of its body,
according to the Maalikis and Hanbalis; this is also the
apparent meaning of the report and fatwas of the Hanafis
➢ The view of the Shafi‘is, if the hunting animal kills it by a blow
or bites it without causing a wound, it is not permissible.
➢ The hunting-animal should be released by a Muslim or Ahl -
Kitab, along with invocation of the name of Allah.
➢ If it goes forward by itself or runs away from its master, or he
forgets to invoke the name of Allah when releasing it, then it
catches some prey and kills it, it is not to be eaten.
