Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... regarding the trap called al-Nabatah.
The Shaykh : Yes, do you know it? This person is asking what you say about the trap called al-Nabatah, because it pierces the stones. We say that what is caught by it is not permissible unless you catch it alive and slaughter it properly. It does not kill the small ones; it never kills them. This is not permissible if it pierces them. It is permissible even if it pierces them, and by Allah, there is something in one’s soul about it, because it does not penetrate deeply. Even if someone were to pierce you with their hand, it would not affect you much.
