Hadith 908
۞
Hadith.4121 - Musa ibn Bakr narrated from Zurara, from Abu Abdullah (as), that he said:
"Regarding the hunting of a dog, if its owner releases it and pronounces the name of Allah (swt), then he may eat whatever it catches for him, even if it kills. And if it eats from it, then eat what remains.
If the dog is not trained, but the owner trains it at the moment he releases it, he may eat from it, for it is considered trained.
However, apart from dogs, such as animals hunted by cheetahs, falcons, and similar creatures, do not eat from their catch you reach it and perform the proper slaughtering (dhabh). This is because Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, said
'Mukallibeen' (those who train hunting dogs)
Thus, apart from dogs, their catch is not lawful to eat unless you reach it and slaughter it properly."

أَنَّهُ قَالَ : "فِي صَيْدِ اَلْكَلْبِ إِنْ أَرْسَلَهُ صَاحِبُهُ وَ سَمَّى فَلْيَأْكُلْ كُلَّ مَا أَمْسَكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِنْ قَتَلَ وَ إِنْ أَكَلَ فَكُلْ مَا بَقِيَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ غَيْرَ مُعَلَّمٍ فَعَلَّمَهُ سَاعَتَهُ حِينَ يُرْسِلُهُ فَلْيَأْكُلْ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ مُعَلَّمٌ فَأَمَّا مَا خَلاَ اَلْكِلاَبَ مِمَّا تَصِيدُهُ اَلْفُهُودُ وَ اَلصُّقُورُ وَ أَشْبَاهُهُ فَلاَ تَأْكُلْ مِنْ صَيْدِهِ إِلاَّ مَا أَدْرَكْتَ ذَكَاتَهُ، لِأَنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَالَ "مُكَلِّبِينَ" فَمَا خَلاَ اَلْكِلاَبَ فَلَيْسَ صَيْدُهُ بِالَّذِي يُؤْكَلُ إِلاَّ أَنْ تُدْرِكَ ذَكَاتَهُ".
