Shooting the cow when slaughtering it is impossible

316

A: edible cattle that have strayed which cannot be caught may be slaughtered by shooting them with an arrow or a gun, such that if it is caught alive, it would be slaughtered, and if it is found dead, it would still be permissible to eat it.It is also permissible to send a trained hunting dog or any other hunting animal after a deer or any wild animal, and if it kills the hunted animal, it is permissible to eat it, and if the animal is found alive, it would be slaughtered and eaten afterwards. This was mentioned in the Hadith narrated by Abu Tha`labah and the one narrated by `Ady ibn Hatim. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
