The ruling on a bird that is struck and then falls into the water
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The people of the Shaykh, may Allah protect you, ask: What is the ruling on a bird that is struck and then falls into the water, if one does not know whether it was killed by the strike or by the illness?
Answer:
It is not permissible. If it is struck and falls into the water, it is not permissible, because one does not know whether it died from the strike or drowned. When a matter is in doubt between what is lawful and what is forbidden, the side of prohibition prevails. This is like the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): “If you catch up with your dog and another dog, do not eat [the prey],” because you do not know whether your dog is the one that killed it.
