In some countries, dogs kept in homes are considered to hunt certain birds; is the impurity of such a bird excused if it is slaughtered?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you…

The Shaykh : What?

The questioner : In some countries, it is common to keep dogs in homes without any need.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : If a dog attacks one of the birds that are in the house.

The Shaykh : Then what?

The questioner : The dog attacks some of the birds in the house.

The Shaykh : Some of the birds, yes.

The questioner : And it wounds it, and then it is slaughtered; do we say that the washing of it is excused...

The Shaykh : Is it healed?

The questioner : It is slaughtered.

The Shaykh : It is slaughtered, yes. It appears that slaughtering does not apply to it, because its hunt in that case is not lawful; that is, if it died from this dog, it would not be lawful.
