He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on the saliva of birds whose meat is not eaten, such as hunting birds, if it falls on a person's hand or on his garment?

Answer:
The saliva of a hunting dog or bird is excused. Therefore, its saliva on a gazelle or a rabbit is tolerated. It is tolerated if it is trained. [Eat] what they catch for you. Allah did not say, "Wash it." He said: meaning, so there is tolerance regarding this trained dog and trained bird. There is tolerance regarding its saliva. Yes.
