Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: A cow escaped from one of the butchers, so he shot it with a bullet until it died. Then he brought it to the slaughterhouse and sold it as if it had been slaughtered with a knife. Is it permissible to eat this cow?
Answer:
Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “What you hunt with a projectile, listen to it,” meaning that it is slaughtered at any part of its body, so this is its dhakah (lawful slaughter); because this is what is within one’s capability.
