A man who takes game with a last breath of life in it: what they said and what is reported

Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If you catch the game while there is still a trace of life in it, and it dies in your hand, do not eat it.

Ubaydullah bin Umar (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Nafi' (may Allah have mercy on him) threw a stone at a dove and knocked it down; then Sayyiduna Abdullah (bin Umar) (may Allah be pleased with them both) took it and began working at it with an adze he had with him in order to slaughter it, but it died in his hand before he could slaughter it, so he threw it away.

Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If you are trying to get to the game and it dies before you reach it, there is no harm in eating it; but if you catch it and have the chance to slaughter it, yet do not slaughter it, then do not eat it.

Shu'bah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked al-Hakam (may Allah have mercy on him): If a man reaches the game while there is still a trace of life in it, but leaves the dog until it kills it, what is the ruling on that game? He said: He should not eat it.

Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If a man sends his dog after game, and when he reaches the game there is still a trace of life in it, but it dies in his hand, then if his dog was trained, he may eat it.
