The Ruling on Hunting with a Slingshot

Question:
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on hunting with a *libat*?
Answer:
This is one of the heavy projectiles. They call the *libat* a small stone, a pebble. This is what makes the game lawful if it dies from it, because it is a projectile. The pebble does not kill by its edge, but rather by its weight.
Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner says: If one…
Answer:
…slaughters with a bullet, a rifle bullet, a shotgun shell, this is like a sharp knife and more so; it tears the skin and passes through the body. There is no harm in that; it is more effective than the early arrows. Yes. As for a pebble, no; a pebble does not penetrate the skin or enter the flesh. Yes.
