Hunting with the modern rifle and the hunting of disbelievers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first and second questions of Fatwa No. ( 5096 )
Q1: What is the ruling on hunting with the modern rifle known today, which shoots with gunpowder and bullets, if the hunter is a disbeliever who lives merely by his disbelief and has no idol to worship, whether he mentions the name of Allah over it or not? Is it permissible for a Muslim to eat it? Q2: What is the ruling on the slaughter of the People of the Book and those who are included with them from others ?
A1, 2: The ruling on the hunting of a disbeliever is the same as the ruling on his slaughter in terms of permissibility and prohibition, based on whether he is a People of the Book or not.
If he is a Jew or a Christian, and he mentions the name of Allah over it, it is eaten. If he is not a People of the Book, his slaughter and his hunting are not eaten, even if he mentions the name of Allah. And by this, the answer to the second question is known. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
