4331. It was narrated that Abû Tha'labah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Wealth taken by force is (not permissible), any predator that has fangs is not permissible, and any animal used for target practice is not permissible.'" (Saḥīḥ)
4326 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، عَنْ بَحِيرٍ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَحِلُّ النُّهْبَى، وَلَا يَحِلُّ مِنَ السِّبَاعِ، كُلُّ ذِي نَابٍ، وَلَا تَحِلُّ الْمُجَثَّمَةُ»

'Any animal used for target practice': This signifies an animal which is caught and tied or confined in such a way that it may not run away; then it is killed tortuously by pelting stones at it or shooting arrows. This method, besides being tyrannical, is contrary to the principles of slaughtering and hunting.
