game which is pierced by a throwing stick in a vital organ.
Allah, the Blessed, the Exalted! said, 'Oh
you who believe! Allah will surely try you with something of the game that
your hands and spears attain.' " (Sura 5 ayat 97).

hand or by his spear or by any weapon which pierces it and reaches a vital
organ, is acceptable as Allah, the Exalted, has said."

25.1.4:
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had
heard the people of knowledge say that when a man hit game and something else
might have contributed to death, like water or an untrained dog, that game was
not to be eaten unless it was beyond doubt that it was the arrow of the hunter
that had killed it by reaching a vital organ, so that it did not have any life
after that.

Yahya said that he heard Malik say that there
was no harm in eating game when you did not see it die if you found the mark

Section: Game Caught by Trained Dogs
Book 25, Number
25.2.5a:
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that
Abdullah ibn Umar said about a trained dog, "Eat whatever it catches for you
whether it eats from it or not."
Book 25, Number
25.2.6:
Yahya related to me from Malik that he heard
Nafi say that Abdullah ibn Umar said, "Whether it eats from it or not."
Book 25, Number
25.2.7:
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had
heard that Sad ibn Abi Waqqas had said, when asked about a trained dog killing
game, "Eat, even if only one piece of it remains."
Book 25, Number
25.2.8:
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had
heard some of the people of knowledge say that when falcons, eagles, and hawks
and their like, understood as trained dogs understood, there was no harm in
eating what they had killed in the course of hunting, if the name of Allah had
been mentioned when they were sent out.
Malik said, "The best of what I have heard
about retrieving game from the falcon's talons or from the dog's fangs and
then waiting until it dies, is that it is not halal to eat it."
Malik said, "The same applies to anything
which could have been slaughtered by the hunter when it was in the talons of
the falcon or the fangs of the dog. If the hunter leaves it until the falcon
or dog has killed it, it is not halal to eat it either". He continued, "The
same thing applies to any game hit by a hunter and caught while still alive,
which he neglects to slaughter before it dies."
Malik said, "It is generally agreed among us
that it is halal to eat the game that a hunting-dog belonging to magians hunts
or kills, if it is sent out by a muslim and the animal is trained. There is no
harm in it even if the muslim does not actually slaughter it.
It is the same as a muslim using a magian's
knife to slaughter with or using his bow and arrows to shoot and kill with.
The game he shot and the animal he slaughters are halal. There is no harm in
eating them. If a magian sends out a muslim's hunting dog for game, and it
catches it, the game is not to be eaten unless it is slaughtered by a muslim.
That is like a magian using a muslim's bow and arrow to hunt game with, or
like his using a muslim's knife to slaughter with. It is not halal to eat
anything killed like that.
Section: Game of the Sea
Book 25, Number
25.3.9:
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that
Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abi Hurayra asked Abdullah ibn Umar about eating what was
cast up by the sea and he forbade him to eat it. Then Abdullah turned and

you." Nafi added, "Abdullah ibn Umar sent me to Abdar-Rahman Ibn Abi Hurayra
to say that there was no harm in eating it."

Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al As and he said the same."

sea. He said, "There is no harm in eating it." Marwan said, "Go to Zayd ibn
Thabit and Abu Hurayra and ask them about it, then come to me and tell me what
they say." They went to them and asked them, and they both said, "There is no
harm in eating it " They returned to Marwan and told him. Marwan said, "I told
you."
Malik said that there was no harm in eating
fish caught by magians, because the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "In the sea's water is purity, and that which is
dead in it is halal. "
Malik said, "If it is eaten when it is dead,
there is no harm in who catches it."

He be Blessed and Exalted, "In cattle, some of them you ride, and some of them
you eat." (Sura 6 ayat 79). He said, the Blessed, the Exalted, "Mention
Allah's name over what He has provided you of cattle, and eat of them and feed

peace, ordered that the skins of carrion be used after they had been tanned.
Section: Eating Carrion when Forced to, out of
Necessity
Book 25, Number
25.7.19:
Yahya related to me from Malik that the best
of what he had heard about a man who is forced by necessity to eat carrion is
that he ate it until he was full and then he took provision from it. If he
found something which would enable him to dispense with it, he threw it away.
Malik when asked whether or not a man who had
been forced by necessity to eat carrion, should eat it when he also found the
fruit, crops or sheep of a people in that place, answered, "If he thinks that
the owners of the fruit, crops, or sheep will believe his necessity so that he
will not be deemed a thief and have his hand cut off, then I think that he
should eat from whatever he finds that which will remove his hunger but he
should not carry any of it away. I prefer that he does that than that he eat
carrion. If he fears that he will not be believed, and will be deemed a thief
for what he has taken, then I think that it is better for him to eat the
carrion, and he has leeway to eat carrion in this respect. Even so, I fear
that someone who is not forced by necessity to eat carrion might exceed the
limits out of a desire to consume other peoples' property, crops or fruit."
Malik said, "That is the best of what I have
heard."
