1467. 'Adī bin Ḥātim narrated: "I asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about the game caught by a falcon. So he said: 'What it catches for you, then eat it.'" (Ḍa'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] We do not know of this Hadīth except as a narration of Mujālid from Ash-Sha'bī. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge. They do not see any harm in the game caught by a falcon or hawk. Mujāhid said about Al-Buzāh (falcons) that it is a bird that is used for hunting, it is one of the predators which Allāh Most High mentioned: And what you have trained of predators.[1] This refers to the dogs and birds that are used for hunting. Some of the people of knowledge have permitted the game caught by falcons, even if they have eaten some of it. They said its training only refers to it responding (to calls to retrieve). Some of them disliked it. As for the Fuqahā', most of them said it can be eaten, even if the falcon ate from it.

Commentary
If a hunting dog eats a part of the catch, in the view of scholars it is prohibited and unlawful to eat, but the game hunted by the birds of prey is lawful to eat, even if the hunting bird eats a part of it.
