The questioner : If wild donkeys become domesticated, are they forbidden?
The Shaykh : This man is asking: if wild donkeys become domesticated, are they forbidden? The answer: No, they remain in their original state. Just as domestic donkeys, if they become wild, do not become lawful. Yes, that is correct. But if a beast of livestock becomes wild and we cannot catch it except by shooting, and we shoot it, is it lawful?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : At what part of its body?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct. Because a camel ran away during the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and they were unable to catch it, so a man shot it with an arrow and held it back. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:, Yes?
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : We do not know. We say it became forbidden and thus became impure, and it was made lawful when it was pure.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : We do not know. His statement: We do not know whether the impurity is something that occurred later or was pre-existing. But if it was pre-existing, there is a problem, because the ruling must follow the cause.

Indeed, these are wild beasts that run away from you—or a word to that effect—so do with it thus.
