Catching the game alive before it dies after being shot with a rifle
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If a person shoots game with a modern weapon, such as a rifle, and then catches it before it dies, but does not slaughter it because he believes the game will die from the effect of the weapon, is its meat permissible?
The Shaykh:
He must slaughter it. As long as there is life in it, he must slaughter it and not leave it. Yes.
Another questioner:
Even if the Shaykh died, yes, he would have found it.
The Shaykh:
If it died before he reached it, it becomes permissible. But since he reached it and held it, he does not let it live. If it dies, it is permissible, because it has become under his control.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
