The Ruling on Hunting with Firearms
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We conclude this session with this question—Your Eminence, the Shaykh. The questioner says: Regarding hunting with firearms—such as gunpowder and the like—we see that the bird is dead on the ground from a shot from this weapon. Is the meat of such a bird permissible to eat? May you be rewarded, Your Eminence, the Shaykh.
Answer:
Yes, yes; because it is a sharp instrument. The bullet strikes the point and draws out the blood, it draws out the blood, yes. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan an-Nasa'i 4403Sahih (Darussalam) So this weapon draws out the blood; with the mention of Allah’s name, it is permissible. But if one leaves off the mention of Allah’s name out of forgetfulness, he owes nothing, yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, the Shaykh.
