"A man among us married a woman, but he did not name a dowry for her, and he did not have intercourse with her before he died." 'Abdullah said: 'Since I left the Messenger of Allah I have never been asked a more difficult question than this. Go to someone else.' They kept coming to him for a month, then at the end of that they said: 'Who shall we ask if we do not ask you? You are one of the most prominent Companions of Muhammad in this land and we cannot find anyone else.' He said: 'I will say what I think, and if it is correct then it is from Allah alone, with no partner, and if it is wrong then it is from me and from the Shaitan, and Allah and His Messenger have nothing to do with it. I think she should be given a dowry like that of her peers and no less, with no injustice, and she may inherit from him, and she has to observe the 'Iddah, four months and ten days.'" He said: "And that was heard by some people from Ashja', who stood up and said: 'We bear witness that you have passed the same judgment as the Messenger of Allah did concerning a woman from among us who was called Birwa' bint Washiq.'" He said: "Abdullah was never seen looking so happy as he did on that day, except with having accepted Islam."
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 26, Hadith 163
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard some of the
people of knowledge say that when falcons, eagles, and hawks and their
like, understood as trained dogs understood, there was no harm in
eating what they had killed in the course of hunting, if the name of
Allah had been mentioned when they were sent out.
Malik said,
"The best of what I have heard about retrieving game from the falcon's
talons or from the dog's fangs and then waiting until it dies, is that
it is not halal to eat it."
Malik said, "The same applies to
anything which could have been slaughtered by the hunter when it was
in the talons of the falcon or the fangs of the dog. If the hunter
leaves it until the falcon or dog has killed it, it is not halal to
eat it either". He continued, "The same thing applies to any game hit
by a hunter and caught while still alive, which he neglects to
slaughter before it dies."
Malik said, "It is generally
agreed among us that it is halal to eat the game that a hunting-dog
belonging to magians hunts or kills, if it is sent out by a muslim and
the animal is trained. There is no harm in it even if the muslim does
not actually slaughter it.
It is the same as a muslim using a
magian's knife to slaughter with or using his bow and arrows to shoot
and kill with. The game he shot and the animal he slaughters are
halal. There is no harm in eating them. If a magian sends out a
muslim's hunting dog for game, and it catches it, the game is not to
be eaten unless it is slaughtered by a muslim. That is like a magian
using a muslim's bow and arrow to hunt game with, or like his using a
muslim's knife to slaughter with. It is not halal to eat anything
killed like that.
