فصل ومَن سَمِعَ حسّاً ظَنَّه حسّ صيد فرماه أو أرسلَ عليه الجارح فأصاب غيرَه حلَّ المصاب إذا كان المسموع حسّه صيداً ولو كان خنزيراً، بخلاف ما لو ظهرَ أنه آدميّ أو حيوان أهليّ فإنه لا يحلّ المصاب.

Tame birds and tethered gazelle count as domestic in law.

If he strikes the quarry whose sound he heard, having thought it a human, and it proves to be game, it is lawful.

If he shoots at a bird and hits game whilst the bird passes and he does not know whether it is wild or tame, the game is lawful—unlike if he shoots at a camel and hits game without knowing whether it herds [runs wild] or not; and if he knows it herds, it is lawful.

If he shoots towards a fish or a locust and hits game it is lawful in one narration, which is sound.

When the arrow strikes the game or the predator wounds it and [the hunter] presses on until it escapes from sight and he does not cease pursuing until he reaches it dead, it is lawful.

If he rests from pursuit then reaches it dead, it is not lawful.

And likewise if another wound is found on it.

If he shoots game and it falls in water or onto a rooftop, hill, tree, wall, or brick course, then falls from that to earth; or he hurls it onto a hill and it tumbles spot to spot until it reaches earth; or he hurls it so it lands on a planted spear, upright reed, or brick edge—it is not lawful unless the shot exposes its head.

If it falls to the ground alive then dies, or onto a hill, house-top, bricks laid flat, or a rock where it settles, it is lawful—unless struck by the rock's sharp edge splitting its belly, in which case it is unlawful.

If the bird is aquatic and he shoots it into water, it is lawful if the wound did not dunk it therein.

Hunting game with a pellet-bow (bunduqah), the flat of a Persian bow (miʿrāḍ), a stick that cannot wound, heavy stone—even if it wounds—is not lawful; if it is light and has a sharp edge, it is lawful.

If he shoots it with sharpened pellets and does not wound it, not lawful—if [the pellets] uncover its head or sever its jugulars it is lawful.

If he shoots it with a sword or knife, it is lawful if he wounds with its edge.

If the arrow or the dog wounds the game without severing veins, it is said: lawful—and that is weightier; and it is said: not lawful; and it is said: lawful in a large wound, not a small one.

If he slaughters a ewe and no blood flows, [the ruling is] on two opinions; and it is said: if it moves it is lawful; if blood issues and it does not move, it is not lawful.

If the arrow strikes the game's hoof or horn, it is lawful if it draws blood.

If he shoots game and severs a limb or less than half its head, the game is lawful, not the severed part; if he divides it into halves or third parts with more behind, or halves its head or more, the whole becomes lawful.

If the severed limb hangs by its skin—if would heal left alone, that limb is lawful; otherwise not.

The game of the Magian, apostate, idolater, and pilgrim in iḥrām is not lawful—unlike the Jew and Christian.

Who shoots game, hits it without mortally wounding it, and another shoots and kills—for that one it is lawful; if the first mortally wounded it, it is his yet not lawful, and the second owes its wounded value according to the first's wound if death by the second is known; if death by both is known—or doubtful—the second owes what his wound diminished, half its value wounded by two wounds, and half the value of its meat.

If the second shooter is the first [person], the ruling on permissibility is as we said—it is as if he shot game on a hill and mortally wounded it, then shot it a second time and brought it down: not lawful.

Hunting game whose flesh is not eaten is lawful.

If one shoots game and another shoots and the second's arrow strikes the first's arrow, deflecting it to other game it kills, it is lawful if the second named [Allah].

If he shoots game with a Persian bow or pellet-bow, hits an arrow, lifts it, and kills game by wounding, it is lawful.

If he sets a net for game on another's land and game falls in it, it is [the game's fate] his; if he set it for drying [produce], none of it belongs to him until he takes [the prey].

Who takes game, its chicks, or an egg from a man's house or his land—it is his—unless [the owner] closes the door to secure it; then [the hunter] possesses it.

If he sets a net—game falls in it; or he throws a harpoon and a fish fixes on it—they struggle until the net, the harpoon line, snap and they slip free—another fishes both up: both are his; if they do not slip free until the hunter arrives and could take them, then they slip free and escape—ownership follows his original title [to capture]. And likewise when he casts with fish outside water, it struggles then falls into water.

And likewise if he throws with the fish outside the water, it struggles then falls into the water.

If he shoots game, stuns it and it swoons, then revives and flies and another takes it—for that one it is his; if he mortally wounds it then it heals and flies, it belongs to the first.
