The Exalted said, He has forbidden the animal killed by a blow, and this is similar; this specifies what they mentioned. The statement of the Prophet - may Allah bless him and grant him peace -: "Whatever causes blood to flow and the name of Allah is mentioned over it (48), eat" (49), indicates that it is not permitted if it does not cause blood to flow. The seventh condition is that he must release it upon game; if he releases it while he does not see anything, nor is he aware of anything, and it strikes game, it is not permitted. This is the opinion of the majority of scholars, because he did not release it upon the game, rather it ran on its own. Likewise, if he shoots an arrow at a target and it strikes game, or he shoots it above his head and it falls onto game and kills it, it is not permitted, because he did not intend a specific target with his shooting, so it is like someone who sets up a knife and a sheep is slaughtered by it.

Section: Everything that accepts training and can be used for hunting among predatory animals, such as the leopard or birds of prey, its ruling is the ruling of the dog in the permissibility of its catch. Ibn Abbas said regarding the saying of the Almighty: {And of the hunting animals which you have trained}: They are trained dogs, every bird trained for hunting, leopards, falcons, and their likes. Taws, Makhul ibn Abi Kathir, al-Hasan, Malik, al-Thawri, Abu Hanifa, Muhammad ibn al-Hasan, al-Shafi'i, and Abu Thawr spoke in accordance with this meaning. It was narrated from Ibn Umar and Mujahid that hunting is not permitted except with a dog, due to the saying of Allah the Almighty: {And of the hunting animals which you have trained as mukallibīn}. Meaning you have trained them like dogs. Our evidence is what was narrated from 'Adi, who said: I asked the Messenger of Allah - may Allah bless him and grant him peace - about the hunting of the falcon; he said: "If it catches it for you, then eat" (50). And because it is a predator usually hunted with, and it accepts training, so it is like a dog. As for the verse, the jawarih (hunting animals) are the earners. {And He knows what you have earned by day} (51). Meaning what you have earned. And such-and-such is the jarihah (earner) of his family, meaning their provider. {Mukallibīn} comes from taklib, which is incitement.
