If a wild goat is found, is it considered game or a fallen animal?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : If a wild goat is found, if it was with Brother Shaker, among the wild goats that are hunted.
The questioner : They have two wild goats that fight each other, and one of them dies. Is the one that dies not to be eaten?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible; it is not to be eaten.
The questioner : My point is that the hunted one is not fit to be eaten...
The Shaykh : Unless, perhaps, if the wild goat is found, its ruling is the ruling of game.
The questioner : This is if it is found.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is right, that is the end of it. Everything by which hunting is done falls under the general verse:[Al-Ma'idah 5:4] The beasts of prey are general. "Jawarih" is the plural of "jarhah," which includes every beast that tears.
The questioner : A wild goat does not tear.
The Shaykh : You do not know. In any case, you do not know. We are now making this rule and applying it. I think the issue has been lost. All right.

[game caught by] what you have trained of hunting animals
