Is it permissible to eat the jerboa after it has been hunted with a stick?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The jerboa is only hunted with a stick; because it is fast, is it eaten?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with the jerboa.
The student: Is it only hunted with a stick?
The Shaykh: There is nothing wrong with the jerboa, but if you hit it with a stick and it dies, it becomes forbidden; it becomes carrion.
Q: Is it eaten?
A: No, it must be slaughtered with a proper slaughter.
The student: I am afraid it will die; does it die as soon as you hit it?
The Shaykh: No, if you hit it and it dies; do not eat it.
