If the game dies as a result of being struck by a dog, is it considered a killed animal?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: If a dog strikes the game and the game dies from the impact of the strike, is the game considered a killed animal, and does its ruling become the same as the ruling for an animal killed by a projectile?

Answer:
There is scholarly disagreement on this. Yes, some scholars say that it is not permissible because it is like an animal killed by a projectile, while others say it is permissible based on the generality of the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and the generality of the saying of Allah the Exalted:
So eat of what they catch for youفَكُلُوا مِمَّا أَمْسَكْنَ عَلَيْكُمْ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:4]
