Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: If one catches game after it has been struck and it is still alive, does it have to be ritually slaughtered? And if it is left until it dies from the injury, is it permissible to eat it?
Answer:
If its life is stable such that it would live if left alone, then it must be ritually slaughtered. However, if the injury is fatal and it moves like a slaughtered animal, then ritual slaughter is not required. Yes.
