Chapter: What Has Been Reported Regarding the Jerboa, Hedgehog, and Chicken
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 7307 — What Has Been Reported Regarding the Jerboa
عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ صَادَ أَرْنَبَيْنِ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ حَدِيدَةً يَذْبَحُهُمَا بِهَا فَذَبَحَهُمَا بِمَرْوَةٍ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَهُ بِأَكْلِهِمَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Safwan that he caught two rabbits while hunting. There was nothing made of iron present with which to slaughter them, so he slaughtered them with the tip of a stone. When he came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed him to eat them.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … If there is a strong and sharp-edged stone, like a knife, which can be used for cutting, then an animal slaughtered with it is lawful (halal).
