A man who stabs game with a spear

Mu'tamir bin Sulayman said: I mentioned to Burd: if a man is mounted and spears a donkey, mentioning the name of Allah, or strikes it with a sword, what is the ruling? Burd related the saying of Makhul: If he mentioned the name of Allah while striking with the sword or the spear, there is no harm in it.

Ata said: If a man says Bismillah while spearing game, he may eat it.

Yahya bin Ya'mar said: What is stabbed in the throat with a spear and then has its veins cut should not be eaten. He said: That is not slaughter; rather, it is killing.

Simak said: Sometimes a gazelle would pass by the people and they would strike it with their swords in such a way that one cut off its foreleg and another its leg. I heard Mus'ab bin al-Zubayr deliver a sermon forbidding them from doing that.
