Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: We are a group who practice archery, but we do not make the animals targets. Rather, we release them so they run away or fly far, and then we shoot them with bullets. These animals are free and not tethered?
Answer:
It is not necessary for the animals to be tethered. The important thing is that if your intention in this is to learn archery on live animals, this is not permissible. This is not permissible. This is only permissible if it is in the context of hunting. You want to hunt them and eat them and benefit from them. As for learning archery on them, this is not permissible. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
