Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is the stronger position regarding what a trained hunting animal kills after the name of Allah is invoked? Is it absolutely permissible due to the generality of Allah’s saying:[Al-Ma'idah 5:4] or is it required that the blood flow, as in the hadith: Sunan Ibn Majah 3178Sahih (Darussalam)
The Shaykh:
That is for the slaughtered animal, my brother; this is about hunting. For the slaughtered animal, it is required that the instrument causes the blood to flow, even if it is a heavy weapon. As for hunting, it is not required that the blood flow. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah guide you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What are the conditions for a trained hunting animal? Are they based on custom, or are there specific conditions?
The Shaykh:
A trained animal is one that, when released, runs on. That is, there are three conditions. The first condition is that when released, it runs on. The second condition is that when it is called back, it stops; when it is called back from chasing, it stops. The third condition is that when it is held, it does not eat. If these conditions are present in it, then it is trained. Yes.

So eat of what they catch for you, and mention the name of Allah upon it
فَكُلُوا مِمَّا أَمْسَكْنَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ(Use) whatever causes the blood to flow, mention the Name of Allah and eat
