The ruling on saying the name of Allah over all game before seeing it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a person, when he wants to start hunting, to say, "In the name of Allah, over all the game I am going to hunt"? Is this sufficient?
Answer:
You say, "In the name of Allah." But saying that it is valid for everything I hunt, when you have not seen any game, is not valid. However, if you see birds gathered together or gazelles gathered together, you mention the name of Allah and shoot at them, and you hit them all, there is no harm. But if you do not see anything and you say, "I will mention the name of Allah, and if something happens to be caught, it will be lawful," that is not valid. Yes.
