Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

20725 - Abu Abd al-Rahman Baqi ibn Makhlad narrated to us, he said: Abu Bakr Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Shaybah al-Absi narrated to us, he said: Muhammad ibn Fudayl al-Dabbi narrated to us, from Bayan, from al-Sha'bi, from 'Adi ibn Hatim, who said: I asked the Prophet ﷺ, he said: I said: We are a people who hunt with these dogs. He said: "If you send your trained dogs and mention the name of Allah over them, then eat of what they catch for you (even if) they kill it, (unless) (they eat) (from it), (and if they eat) (from it) then do not eat, for I fear that it only (caught for itself), and if other dogs mix with them ⦗134⦘ then do not eat."

It is narrated from Hazrat Mak'hool (may Allah have mercy on him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you send your trained dog for hunting and it eats from it, and you do not get the opportunity to slaughter it, then do not eat from it. And if it does not eat from it, but you find the prey dead, then you may eat it.

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) says that if you release your dog for hunting and it eats from the catch, then do not eat it because the dog has caught the prey for itself. But if it does not eat from it, then you may eat it because the dog has hunted it for you; even if the prey dies, still you may eat it.

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) says that when you send your dog for hunting and it eats something from the prey, then do not eat that prey because the dog has stopped it for itself.

He replied: Put a collar around the dog's neck that marks it as a trained dog, release it for hunting, and say "Bismillah" (In the name of Allah). Then whatever it hunts, eat it. However, if the dog has also eaten from it, then do not eat it.

Hazrat Abu Tha’labah Khushani (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I asked: O Messenger of Allah! We are hunting people. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: When you send your dog for hunting and mention the name of Allah, if it restrains the prey for you, then eat it. I asked: Even if it kills it? He said: Yes, even if it kills it.
