(Book 25, Hadith 8) #36125
Hunting with Trained Animals

SUMMARY: It is permissible to eat the game hunted by a trained animal, provided that the name of Allah was mentioned when it was sent out. However, if the hunter neglects to slaughter it before it dies, then it is not permissible to eat.

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard some of the people of knowledge say that when falcons, eagles, and hawks and their like, understood as trained dogs understood, there was no harm in eating what they had killed in the course of hunting, if the name of Allah had been mentioned when they were sent out. Malik said, "The best of what I have heard about retrieving game from the falcon's talons or from the dog's fangs and then waiting until it dies, is that it is not halal to eat it". Malik said, "The same applies to anything which could have been slaughtered by the hunter when it was in the talons of the falcon or the fangs of the dog. If the hunter leaves it until the falcon or dog has killed it, it is not halal to eat it either". He continued, "The same thing applies to any game hit by a hunter and caught while still alive, which he neglects to slaughter before it dies". Malik said, "It is generally agreed among us that it is halal to eat the game that a hunting-dog belonging to magians hunts or kills, if it is sent out by a muslim and the animal is trained. There is no harm in it even if the muslim does not actually slaughter it. It is the same as a muslim using a magian's knife to slaughter with or using his bow and arrows to shoot and kill with. The game he shot and the animal he slaughters are halal. There is no harm in eating them. If a magian sends out a muslim's hunting dog for game, and it catches it, the game is not to be eaten unless it is slaughtered by a muslim. That is like a magian using a muslim's bow and arrow to hunt game with, or like his using a muslim's knife to slaughter with. It is not halal to eat anything killed like that.

Mention Allah's name when sending out trained animals; Slaughter an animal before death; Use only Muslim owned hunting dogs; Take responsibility of your actions; Be mindful of your actions; Obey Islamic law

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the permissibility of eating game hunted by trained animals such as falcons, eagles and hawks. The condition for this is that one must mention Allah's name when sending out these animals for hunting. If one fails to slaughter the animal before it dies then it becomes impermissible to consume its meat. This hadith also mentions that if a Muslim sends out a Magian's hunting dog for game and catches something, then in order for its meat to be permissible one must slaughter it themselves as a Magian cannot do so on behalf of a Muslim. This hadith teaches us about being mindful of our actions and how we should take responsibility for them in order for them to be considered halal or permissible according to Islamic law.
