The Invocation When Hunting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: Is it sufficient for me to say: "In the name of Allah, and Allah is the Greatest," when I load the bullet into the gun for hunting, or is it obligatory to mention the name of Allah when pulling the trigger of the gun? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer: It is obligatory to mention the name of Allah when shooting, and it is not sufficient to mention it when loading the bullet into the gun; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1929j. It is agreed upon as authentic, from the hadith of 'Adi ibn Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him), and the wording is from Muslim.
Answer: It is obligatory to mention the name of Allah when shooting, and it is not sufficient to mention it when loading the bullet into the gun; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
And if you shoot your arrow, recite the name of Allah
وإن رميت سهمك فاذكر اسم الله
