Eating game that falls from the top of a mountain
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If a person hunts an animal from the top of a mountain and it then falls from the mountain, is it permissible to eat it or not? Because he does not know whether it died from the fall or from the arrow’s strike.
Answer:
He should not eat it because it is a doubtful matter; it is not known whether it died from being hit by the arrow or whether it died from the fall, in which case it would be among the fallen animals. As long as that is the case, he should not eat it unless he catches it alive and performs the ritual slaughter.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and give you reward,
