What is the ruling on eating a bird that falls after being shot with an arrow while it is still alive?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q2: Is the part of the game that falls off after being shot with a rifle, such as a piece of meat or a limb, permissible or forbidden to eat due to the impact of the bullet?
Part 2: If a hunted animal is shot and a part of it falls off, such as a limb, a leg, or a piece of meat, and the animal remains alive with a stable life afterward, then that part is carrion and it is not permissible to eat it; because what is cut from a beast while it is alive is considered carrion; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1480Hasan (Darussalam) It was narrated by Ahmad , Abu Dawud , and al-Tirmidhi , who graded it as good. However, if a part of the hunted animal falls off after its death, then what fell off is permissible to eat, just as the rest of it is permissible to eat. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

Whatever is cut from an animal while it is alive, then it is dead flesh.
ما قطع من البهيمة، وهي حية فهو ميتة
