Hunting by shooting: Halaal?
« on: February 05, 2015, 12:26:46 PM »
According to the article http://quransmessage.com/articles/slaughtering%20of%20animals%20-%20the%20correct%20method%20of%20sacrifice%20FM3.htm
the only lawful way to kill an animal for food is by slaughter. Can anyone confirm whether shooting the animal or even using a bow and arrow can be halaal? Thanks

Salaam,

As long as the animal is not dead then it is permissible. For example, if a bow and arrow is used to shoot it and it is injured but alive, then it should be slaughtered quickly with the name of God pronounced over it.
