Al-Mughni by Ibn Qudama - Edited by Al-Turki
Volume 13 · Page 2671704 - Issue: He said: 'What is hunted by a black dog, if it is solid black, is not to be eaten, because it is a devil.'

Translation · EN

by leaving the eating, so it does not undermine its training, unlike the dog and the leopard. As for the report, it is not sound; it is narrated by Mujalid, and he is weak. Ahmad said: Mujalid makes the story into one, and how many marvels are there from Mujalid. The sound reports contradict him, and analogy of birds to predatory beasts is not valid due to the difference between them. If this is established, then every bird of prey that can be trained and hunted with, such as the falcon, the hawk, the peregrine, and the eagle, its hunting is lawful based on what we have mentioned.

1704 - Issue: He said: (And what is hunted by the black dog, when it is solid black, is not eaten; because it is a devil.)

Al-bahim is that whose color is not mixed with any other color. Ahmad said: That which has no white in it. Tha'lab and Ibrahim al-Harbi said: Every color that is not mixed with another color is bahim. It was said to them: Of every color? They said: Yes. Among those who disliked its hunting are al-Hasan, al-Nakha'i, Qatadah, and Ishaq. Ahmad said: I do not know anyone who permits it, meaning among the predecessors. Abu Hanifah, Malik, and al-Shafi'i permitted its hunting due to the generality of the verse and the report, and the analogy to other dogs. Our evidence is that it is a dog whose keeping is forbidden and its killing is mandatory, so its hunting is not permitted, like an untrained one. The evidence for the prohibition of keeping it is the saying of the Prophet - may Allah bless him and grant him peace -: "Kill every solid black one among them." Narrated by Sa'ir and others. And Muslim narrated in his "Sahih" with his chain from Abdullah ibn al-Mughaffal, who said: The Messenger of Allah - may Allah bless him and grant him peace - ordered us to kill
