Humaid bin Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that I asked Hazrat Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him): "We have hunting dogs, we set them loose on the hunt, and they eat some of it. Is it permissible for us to eat from it?" He replied: "You may eat from it, even if only a single piece remains."

Hazrat Qatadah, may Allah have mercy on him, says that I asked Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib, may Allah have mercy on him, what is the ruling if a dog is sent for hunting and it eats from the prey? He replied that even if it eats two-thirds of it, you may still eat from it. I asked, "On whose authority are you saying this?" He replied: On the authority of Hazrat Salman, may Allah be pleased with him.
