The ruling on using a prey animal to train a trained animal
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
People hunt using falcons. They say that when we train the falcon, we use a rabbit or something as prey, and then the falcon comes and learns from it. They ask: Is this from...?
Answer:
If it is alive, it is not permissible. As for if it is dead, there is no harm. If it is slaughtered, there is no harm.
Q: Is it due to the generality of the hadith?
The Shaykh: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade taking a living creature as a target.
