Forgetting the Name of Allah When Hunting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person shoots an arrow and hunts with it, but he forgets to mention the name of Allah over it, does he eat from the game or not?
Answer:
There is a disagreement among the scholars. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If you send [your hound or arrow] and you mention the name of Allah..." The position of the Hanbali school is that the mention of the name is obligatory in hunting and is not excused by forgetfulness; rather, the mention of the name is excused by forgetfulness only in the case of a slaughtered animal. As for hunting, the mention of the name is obligatory based on the apparent meaning of the verse and the apparent meaning of the hadith. Yes.[Al-Ma'idah 5:4] Sunan an-Nasa'i 4275Sahih (Darussalam) How can we disregard this? Yes.

May Allah reward you.

So eat of what they catch for you, and mention the name of Allah upon it
فَكُلُوا مِمَّا أَمْسَكْنَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِIf you release your dog and mention the name of Allah over him
