Slaughtering Permissible Animals Without Need

Question:
And between us and our grandmother, we sit and hunt some of the animals, and the skins of some of them. We said to one of you: It is not permissible to slaughter them as long as we are in need of them for their length and so on. Is it because of your village? If her will is that her will is not because we bring them, but because some of them are close to water.

Answer:
There is no objection as long as they eat them, even if they are not in need, because Allah has made them permissible. So if they eat them when they slaughter them, it is permissible to slaughter them even if there is no need. Now, among the permissible things, one slaughters the jerboa, slaughters the hyena and eats it, slaughters the hyena and eats it. There is no objection to that even if there is no need. What is prohibited is that he slaughters them and leaves them, throwing them away. This is what is prohibited: slaughtering animals without eating them, merely for the sake of hobby. Some people are obsessed with hunting; they slaughter things and do not eat them, but throw them away. This is not permissible; this is forbidden. But if he slaughters them and eats them, and they are of what is permissible to eat, that is the meaning of it, even if it is not for a need. Yes.
