Question:
This questioner asks, Shaykh, about the hunting that is done: is it lawful or forbidden? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
Hunting of birds and animals, such as rabbits and gazelles, and the like of what Allah the Exalted has made lawful, except for what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited, namely that which has fangs among the beasts of prey or talons among the birds; eating and hunting such is forbidden. Allah, Glorious and Exalted is He, said:[Al-Ma'idah 5:96] Therefore, hunting on land is not forbidden except for the one in the state of ihram. As for the one not in the state of ihram, hunting is permissible for him, and it is among the purest and most beneficial means of earning. Yes.

Allah, Glorious and Exalted is He, said:
Lawful to you is game from the sea and its food as provision for you and the travelers, but forbidden to you is game from the land as long as you are in the state of ihram
أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ صَيْدُ الْبَحْرِ وَطَعَامُهُ مَتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِلسَّيَّارَةِ وَحُرِّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ صَيْدُ الْبَرِّ مَا دُمْتُمْ حُرُمًا
