4270. It was narrated from 'Adiyy bin Hâtim that he asked the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ: "I release my trained dog and he catches (game)." He said: "If you release the trained dog and you say the name of Allâh over him, and he catches (something), then eat." I said: "Even if he kills it?" He said: "Even if he kills it." I said: "And I shoot with the Mī'râd." He said: "If it hits (the game) with its sharp point, then eat, but if it hits it with its broad side, then do not eat."

Commentary
The sign of a trained hunting dog is it catches the game, it does not eat it. Even so, it catches it with its mouth and claws. The game caught by such a trained dog is lawful, even if one does not get a chance to slaughter it. If the hunting dog is not trained, then slaughtering the game is a prerequisite.
