Permissibility of eating whatever part falling from a shot bird while the bird is alive

Q 2: Is it lawful to eat meat which is cut apart from the game animals and birds as a result of shooting?


A: It is unlawful to eat meat that has been cut apart from the game during hunting if it remains alive because in such a case it holds the same ruling of carrion. This is based on the Hadith that prohibits eating that part which was cut off from the living animal's body. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Whatever is cut off from an animal when it is alive is carrion. Narrated by Ahmad, Abu Dawud and Al-Tirmidhy who classified it as Hadith Hasan (good Hadith). It is, however, lawful to eat the piece of flesh which is cut off from the game after it is shot dead as all the flesh of the animal is lawful after its death.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
