Is hunting as a hobby and for entertainment permissible when a person has no need to eat from it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is hunting as a hobby and for entertainment permissible when a person has no need to eat from it?

Answer:
It is permissible, but it is disliked for one who pursues hunting for its own sake, as in the hadith
Whoever pursues huntingمن تبع الصيد
for its own sake, so it is disliked for him to go out to hunt when he has no need, only as a hobby.
