If a hunter aims at a bird but hits another bird, is it permissible to eat it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : My Shaykh, if a person aims at a bird and another one falls, is it permissible to eat the second one?
The Shaykh : You reminded me of a story narrated about Abu Yusuf.
The questioner : Abu Yusuf was a student of Abu Hanifah.
The Shaykh : A student of Abu Hanifah.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : He said, "He was the judge for Harun al-Rashid, as is well known. Harun al-Rashid said to him, 'I and my wife have disagreed about which of the two sweets is better and tastier. He said, "The faludj," or I forgot, the second name is a bit strange. So he says this one is better, and she says what is this, this one is better. What do you think, Your Honor the Judge?' He said, 'We do not judge about something absent. We do not judge about something absent. Bring it to us.'"
The questioner : He has to eat it, he is not asking about the issue right now. The fatwa will come later, it is on its way...
The Shaykh : They brought it to him. They put two plates of each type. He eats from here, he tastes it.
The questioner : He feels the taste.
The Shaykh : He eats a bite from here, and from here, and from here. The king's patience ran out. He said to him, "And then, O Judge?" He said to him, "O Commander of the Faithful, whenever I wanted to testify for one of them, the other would stand up with his argument."
The questioner : ... O Abu 'Abdullah.
Another questioner : The other would stand up with his argument. It is a good one.
The Shaykh : And we still do not judge about something absent.
The questioner : That was my first hunting trip, on my head.
The Shaykh : When we see it, we will judge about it.
The Shaykh : When it grows up, I mean. Adding something or the situation remains as it is.
The questioner : By Allah, praise be to Allah, the situation remains as it is. But even so, a person is not psychologically at ease, even if it is a matter of marriage according to the Shari'ah ruling.
The Shaykh : But when we said that since the brother has the ability to stay away from this money, that is the best. And here comes his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan an-Nasa'i 5711Sahih (Darussalam) There is no longer any doubt in the question.
The questioner : And how good is that with Allah.
The Shaykh : It is not like that, O Abu Muhammad.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : There is no longer any doubt.
The questioner : And how good is that with Allah.

Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt.
دَعْ ما يريبك إلى ما لا يريبكThe questioner : And how good is that with Allah.
The Shaykh : It is not like that, O Abu Muhammad.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : There is no longer any doubt.
The questioner : And how good is that with Allah.
The Shaykh :
And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out
مَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا
