Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: If a sheep or something similar runs away, is it permissible to hunt it?
Answer:
A sheep does not run away in a way that leaves people unable to catch it, but the camel is the one that runs away and they are unable to restrain it, so they shoot it. If it is wounded in any part, this is a lawful slaughter. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 3183Sahih (Darussalam) meaning shooting it with an arrow. As for sheep, they do not elude them to the point that they cannot catch them.

If this happens to any of you, do likewise.
