The ruling on eating game that dies after being hunted

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I am asking about the ruling on eating the meat of a carcass that a person hunted, whether it is an animal or a bird, and it fell to the ground and died. Is it permissible for me to eat from that?

Answer:
If he struck it with an arrow that tears the skin, then it died from the strike, it is lawful, because it is from the game. It is from the game if he mentioned the name of Allah when sending the arrow or the shot, remembering Allah when sending the arrow or the shot. If it struck it while it was in its state of vigor and it died, it is lawful from wherever it struck it, even if it fell to the ground and there was some life in it, but it died and he did not catch it to slaughter it; then it is also lawful. As for if it fell to the ground and there was life in it, and it remained for a period during which he could have slaughtered it but he did not slaughter it, then it does not become lawful, because it has become a carcass. Yes.
