حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عِيسَى بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَيْشِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، وَقَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ الرَّحَبِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا بِأَرْضِ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ فَنَطْبُخُ فِي قُدُورِهِمْ وَنَشْرَبُ فِي آنِيَتِهِمْ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا غَيْرَهَا فَارْحَضُوهَا بِالْمَاءِ " ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا بِأَرْضِ صَيْدٍ فَكَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ قَالَ : " إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ كَلْبَكَ الْمُكَلَّبَ وَذَكَرْتَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ فَقَتَلَ فَكُلْ وَإِنْ كَانَ غَيْرَ مُكَلَّبٍ فَذُكِّيَ فَكُلْ وَإِذَا رَمَيْتَ بِسَهْمِكَ وَذَكَرْتَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ فَقَتَلَ فَكُلْ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
Narrated from Abu Tha’labah al-Khushani (may Allah be pleased with him): He asked, “O Messenger of Allah! We live in the land of the People of the Book. Can we cook food in their pots and drink water from their vessels?” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “If you do not find any other vessels, then wash them with water.” Then he asked, “O Messenger of Allah! We live in a land of hunting, what should we do?” He said: “When you send your trained dog and you have recited «بسم اللہ» over it, and it kills the game, then eat it. And if the dog is not trained and the game is slaughtered, then eat it. And when you shoot an arrow and you have recited «بسم اللہ» over it, and it brings down the game, then eat it.” © Imam Tirmidhi says:
This hadith is Hasan Sahih.

Hadith Commentary:

Benefits and Issues:
➊ Consuming foul-smelling things, as long as they do not cause harm, is only disliked (makruh tanzihi) due to being medically undesirable.
➋ If it reaches the level of causing harm, then it is not permissible.

Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
The apparent meaning of the hadith is that if other vessels are available, then even after washing the vessels of the Jews and Christians, they should not be used.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ According to need and necessity, hunting and going in search of it is not blameworthy; what is blameworthy is that a person becomes heedless of his other religious and worldly obligations.

➋ If the taste and smell of food and drink items become spoiled to such an extent that they may be harmful, then they should not be used. However, if no clear harm is apparent, then it is permissible.

Benefits and Issues:
Since when releasing a hunting dog or shooting with a bow, "Bismillah" is recited,
then whatever dies in this manner is lawful (halal).
If it is found alive, then recite "Bismillah" and slaughter it.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ The animal killed by a dog that was not trained is not lawful (halal).
➋ This ruling applies even if the dog was released after reciting "Bismillah".
➌ However, if one is able to perform slaughter (dhabh) on the animal, then after slaughtering it, its consumption will be permissible.

Benefits and Issues:
The original issue is the same
as has passed in the authentic ahadith mentioned earlier,
that if the dog has eaten from the game, then eating it is not permissible.
For this reason, some scholars have declared this hadith to be munkar (contradictory to authentic ahadith).
And this view is more correct.
And some individuals, due to this hadith, hold the opinion that the game remains lawful even if the hunting dog has eaten from it.
And some have interpreted it as follows:
that the hunting dog first caught and killed the game, then left it for the owner and went away from there.
Then, if it returns again and eats some of it, in this case its eating is not harmful.
It is permissible for the owner to eat from this game.
Because initially, it hunted for the owner,
and kept it reserved for him, and only ate from it afterwards, so this eating will not be taken into consideration.
