The ruling on what is cut from a hunted animal if it is caught alive or dead

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, if one catches a hunted animal and cuts off its hand, then it escapes and he catches it and holds it alive, what is the ruling on what was cut from it?

The Shaykh:
It is part of it. If he catches it dead or alive and performs the ritual slaughter, then what was cut from it is part of it and is lawful. However, if he cuts it and it remains alive, does not die, and is not ritually slaughtered, then what was cut from it is not lawful. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “What is destroyed from a living creature is like its carrion.”

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible?

The Shaykh:
They call it the hunted animal. The hunted animal is not excluded. It is the prey from which a part was cut, then it was caught and held, and it died from the hunt or was killed. This is lawful; what was cut from it is lawful, as it is part of it. But if it goes and he does not know whether it died or not, then it is not lawful. Yes.
