Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: An animal fell into a well, and only its rear part is visible. Is it slaughtered by cutting its tail or any part of it, even though its head is in the water?
Answer:
If its head is in the water, they do not know whether the water or the injury killed it. But if it fell in and its head is not in the water, then it is shot, and its slaughter is the injury in any part of its body, because they are unable to slaughter it properly. Its slaughter is the injury in any part of its body. Yes, this is if its head is not in the water. Yes.
