Hunting with Bullets and Training Falcons on Pigeons

The questioner:
The questioner asks: What is the basis for considering hunting with bullets to be a lawful slaughter, while it is not considered a restraint?

The Shaykh:
Because the bullet penetrates and pierces through, unlike the restraint. The restraint does not penetrate; it only crushes what is beneath it. This is the difference between the two.

The questioner:
I am a man who hunts birds with falcons, but to train the falcons, I buy pigeons from the market, then take them to the open field, and I startle them so they fly in the air, then I let the falcon chase them to catch them.

The Shaykh:
If the pigeon is flying and you train the falcon on it while it is flying, there is nothing wrong with that. But if you tie it up, if you tie it up for the falcon, that is what is not permissible. Yes. This is what they call "shabash." They blindfold the pigeon and tie it up, then release the falcon on it. This is not permissible. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
