It is also narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you send your dog for hunting and say Bismillah, but if this dog joins with other dogs, then do not eat that game, because you do not know which dog killed that game (while you said Bismillah only over your own dog). Similarly, when you shoot an arrow and have said Bismillah, and that arrow pierces the game, then eat it. If it does not pierce and the game dies from the blow of the middle thick part of the arrow, do not eat that game, and do not eat the game hunted by a bullet, unless you slaughter it.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … By "bunduq" is meant those pebbles which are made from clay and then dried, and they are used to strike game animals. If the game dies as a result, it is considered carrion (maytah), because it is like an animal killed by a stick, which has been declared unlawful (haram) in Surah al-Ma'idah, verse (3). However, if such an animal is found alive, then it may be slaughtered (dhabiha).
