Hadith 1916
Sayyiduna Abu Tha’labah al-Khushani (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I asked, “O Messenger of Allah! We live in the land of the People of the Book, so can we eat from their utensils (or not)? And we live in the hunting wilderness, so can we hunt with bows and arrows, or with trained dogs, and with untrained dogs, or not? Please tell us what is correct.” He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “As for what you mentioned about the People of the Book, (the answer is) if you find utensils other than theirs, then do not eat in their utensils, and if you do not find (other utensils), then wash them well and eat in them. And (regarding hunting), if you hunt with an arrow, then recite ‘Bismillah’ and eat it. And if you send a trained dog, reciting ‘Bismillah’, and it hunts, then eating it is permissible. And if (you did not recite ‘Bismillah’ and) the dog was not trained, then after slaughtering (the animal), eating it is permissible.”
