The questioner:
Abu Ahmad, do not those who stir up the desert in the summer know that their yellow companions have died?
The Shaykh:
If he names [Allah] when he releases the falcon and names [Allah] at the time of release, and then the falcon catches the prey and kills it, it is lawful. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Ma'idah 5:4]. He names [Allah] when he sends it out, and whatever it catches and dies in the hunt is lawful, because it is in the position of a zakat [instrument], for the chest is in the position of a zakat instrument. Yes. Likewise, the dog: the trained dog, if he releases it and names [Allah], and then it catches prey and kills it, it is lawful, [Al-Ma'idah 5:4].
The questioner:
And whoever is by causing enmity.
The Shaykh:
If he did not name [Allah], the prey is not lawful unless he catches it alive and slaughters it ritually.
