The ruling on hunting birds with a slingshot or arrows

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: The boys in our town hunt birds using what is called a slingshot or arrows. Is it permissible to eat them?

Answer:
No, if it dies from the impact of the stone, it is not to be eaten, because this is said to be among the things killed by a projectile. If you catch it while it is still alive and slaughter it ritually, it is lawful. But if it dies from the impact, it is forbidden, because it is a projectile-killed animal. Yes.
