Home Hadith Hadith 5265
I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We let loose our trained hounds after a game?" He said, "Eat what they
hunt for you." I said, "Even if they killed (the game)?" He replied, 'Even if they killed (the game)." I
said, 'We also hit (the game) with the Mi'rad?" He said, "Eat of the animal which the Mi'rad kills by
piercing its body, but do not eat of the animal which is killed by the broad side of the Mi'rad.''
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 72, Hadith 3
← Previous Hadith
I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about the Mi'rad. He said, "If you hit the game with its sharp edge, eat it, but if
the Mi'rad hits the game with its shaft with a hit by its broad side do not eat it, for it has been beaten to
death with a piece of wood. (i.e. unlawful)." I asked, "If I let loose my trained hound after a game?"
He said, "If you let loose your trained hound after game, and mention the name of Allah, then you can
eat." I said, "If the hound eats of the game?" He said "Then you should not eat of it, for the hound has
hunted the game for itself and not for you." I said, "Some times I send my hound and then I find some
other hound with it?" He said "Don't eat the game, as you have mentioned the Name of Allah on your
dog only and not on the other."

I said, "O Allah's Prophet! We are living in a land ruled by the people of the Scripture; Can we take
our meals in their utensils? In that land there is plenty of game and I hunt the game with my bow and
with my hound that is not trained and with my trained hound. Then what is lawful for me to eat?" He
said, "As for what you have mentioned about the people of the Scripture, if you can get utensils other
than theirs, do not eat out of theirs, but if you cannot get other than theirs, wash their utensils and eat
out of it. If you hunt an animal with your bow after mentioning Allah's Name, eat of it. and if you hunt
something with your trained hound after mentioning Allah's Name, eat of it, and if you hunt
something with your untrained hound (and get it before it dies) and slaughter it, eat of it."
