Muhammad Bin Yahya...

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Sayf Bin Umeyra, from Abu Bakr Al Hazramy who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah -asws about the prey of the buzzards and the falcons, and the dogs, and the leopards. So he -asws said: ‘Do not eat the prey of anything from these except what you purify (slaughter), except for the hunting dog’.

I said, ‘Suppose it kills it?’ He -asws said: ‘Eat, because Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic is Saying [5:4] and what you have taught the hunting animals, trained ones . . . so eat of that which they catch for you and mention the Name of Allah over it ’.

And he -asws said: ‘When it hunts, and it has been Named ( Bismillah ), so let him eat, and if it hunts and has not been Named ( Bismillah ), so no; and this is from what [5:4] and what you have taught the hunting animals, trained ones ’.

Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Musa Bin Bakr, from Zurara, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘When the man sends his dog (to hunt) and forgets to Name ( Bismillah ), so he is at the status of the one slaughters and forgets to Name ( Bismillah ), and similar to that is when he throws with the spear and forgets to Name ( Bismillah )’.
