4301. It was narrated from 'Amr bin Shu'aib, from his father, from his grandfather, that a man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allâh, I have trained dogs; advise me concerning them." He said: "Whatever your dogs catch for you, eat," I said: "Even if they kill it?" He said: "Even if they
kill it.” He said: “Advise me about my bow.” He said: “Whatever your arrow returns to you, eat.” He said: “Even if it gets away from me?” He said: “Even if it gets away from you, so long as you do not find the mark of an arrow other than yours on it, or you find that it has gone rotten.” (Another chain). (Hasan)

Commentary
‘Has gone rotten’: From the outward phrasing, it appears that it should not be eaten if it smells bad, although stench does not render an animal or meat unlawful. But since in foul-smelling substances, pollution occurs from the medical point of view, it is inappropriate to eat them. It should be utilized only in very compelling situations.
