Is it required that blood be drawn in hunting?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it required in hunting birds and the like that blood be drawn? If one hunts a bird and no blood comes out of it, and then it dies, is it permissible for me to eat it, or is it necessary that he slaughter it and draw the blood from it?

Answer:
Where did you derive the condition of drawing blood? Allah the Exalted says:
So eat of what they catch for youفَكُلُوا مِمَّا أَمْسَكْنَ عَلَيْكُمْ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:4]
and He did not say "and blood came out of it." You are not adding anything; you are answering with something from yourselves. Yes.
