The reciter: Chapter: Hunting with a crossbow. And Ibn 'Umar said regarding the one killed by the *banduqah*: That is the one that was struck. And Salim, al-Qasim, Mujahid, Ibrahim, Ata, and al-Hasan disliked it. And al-Hasan disliked shooting the *banduqah* in villages and cities, and he saw no harm in it elsewhere.
The Shaykh : The *banduqah* is not the known guns with bullets, for these kill due to their penetrating power. But what he meant by *banduqah* is what they used to employ: they would take pebbles of the type of date pits and throw them like this with their finger, and perhaps it would hit a bird. And from that is also what people know as *nabat*, which is known to us as *nabat*. I do not know if you know it by this name. Yes, this is also not lawful because it does not kill by penetration; it kills by its weight. As for bullets, like the *sutm* and pointed bullets, there is no harm in them. For this reason, some of them said in verse:
And the permissibility of the lawfulness of hunting with a bullet *banduqah* has been established
Our pious father issued a fatwa on it, and consensus was established from his fatwa
When these firearm *banduqahs* with bullets first appeared, there was disagreement among the scholars regarding them, as with other things that occur; there is disagreement when something first happens, and then upon reflection and consideration, it is attached to the ruling that becomes clear after reflection and consideration. As for using the *banduqah* and its like, it is disliked to use them because they have no benefit; they do not wound an enemy, but rather they pop out an eye and break a tooth. So they are prohibited in villages and cities. But in the desert and open spaces where the harm from them is absent, there is no harm in it. Yes.
