3212 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُجَالِدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ ابْنِ حَاتِمٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا قَوْمٌ نَرْمِي، قَالَ: «إِذَا رَمَيْتَ وَخَزَقْتَ، فَكُلْ مَا خَزَقْتَ»

Commentary

a. If an arrow pierces the body of game and injures it, then the game becomes lawful provided Allāh's Name was mentioned before shooting the arrow. b. The operation of a bullet or shot of a rifle, due to their speed, is also similar to an arrow, so the game shot by them is also lawful.
