Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the ruling on the one who sits in the place of the king regarding the invocation, and the ruling is also the same for the one who sits in the place of the righteous regarding the one who is invoked upon.
Answer:
If he forgets the invocation over the slaughtered animal, there is no blame on him; the slaughtered animal is lawful, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:286] and we cut it. But if he forgets it over the game.
This is a point of scholarly disagreement. The school of thought holds that the game is not lawful if the invocation is left out, whether out of forgetfulness or intentionally, because Allah the Exalted says:[Al-Ma'idah 5:4] and because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 1929a, they said: So. And because. And because.
Hunting differs from slaughter. Hunting differs from slaughter because one is not in control of the game; he may hit it or he may not, unlike slaughter, where the one being slaughtered is in his control, right in front of him. Therefore, the ruling on the invocation differs.
Regarding the ruling on hunting in terms of zakah, and although Shaykh Taqiy al-Din holds the stronger position that the invocation is obligatory in the state of remembrance and in the state of forgetfulness, even in the case of slaughter, taking this from the generality of the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-An'am 6:121] This is general; it is general regarding what one left the invocation on intentionally and what one left the invocation on by mistake, and it is general regarding game and slaughtered animals. This is what the Shaykh, the jurist, chooses, but the school of thought distinguishes between them.

So eat of what they catch for you, and mention the name of Allah upon it
فَكُلُوا مِمَّا أَمْسَكْنَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِWhen you set off your trained dogs, if you recited the name of Allah (while setting them off), then eat (the game).
