Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Sometimes a sheep falls from a mountain, and then its owner catches it and slaughters it, even though it would have died if he had left it. Is it lawful with this slaughter?
Answer:
If he catches it and it has stable life, the correct view is that the slaughter makes it lawful. But if he catches it and it has unstable life, the life of death, it is not made lawful. Yes.
