3208. It was narrated that 'Adi bin Hātīm said: "I asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ: 'We are people who hunt with these dogs.' He said: 'If you send out
your trained dogs and mention the Name of Allāh over them, then eat whatever they catch even if they kill it, unless the dog has eaten any of it. If the dog has eaten any of it then do not eat it, for I fear that it will have caught it for itself. And if another dog joins it, then do not eat it.”’ (Sahih)
Ibn Mājah said: “I heard him, meaning ‘Ali bin Mundhir (the narrator), saying: ‘I performed Hajj fifty-eight times, most of them walking.’”

Commentary
If a trained dog is sent for game after mentioning the Name of Allāh, then its prey is lawful.
If the dog eats of the hunted game then the leftover is forbidden, so it should be fed to the dog.
If two dogs share in hunting and Allāh's Name is mentioned only for one dog not for another one, then the prey is forbidden because it may be killed by the other one.
