Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a shepherd slaughters without the owner's permission, is he liable for compensation?
Answer:
He is not liable, if he is a reformer, a hired worker, and one who is thanked. It does not die. If he fears it will die, or if a wolf takes it and he catches it and slaughters it, he is thanked and rewarded, and he deserves to be thanked.
Q: If the shepherd slaughters, and it does not move and the blood does not come out?
The Shaykh: The apparent statement of the scholars is that movement is necessary, otherwise it is carrion in the opinion of some scholars; that if the blood is the blood of a living creature, this was chosen by Shaykh Taqi al-Din Ibn Taymiyyah, but there is consideration in it. In some of the Salaf's statements: movement is necessary, a verified life is necessary.
