Maeda 4
4- THEY ASK YOU, WHAT IS PERMITTED FOR THEM? SAY: YOU ARE PERMITTED ALL GOOD AND PURE THINGS, AND AS FOR THE BEASTS YOU TRAINED OUT OF WHAT ALLAH TAUGHT YOU, EAT OF WHAT THEY CATCH FOR YOU, AND INVOKE ALLAH’S NAME ON IT, AND BE PIOUS AND GUARD YOURSELVES FROM ALLAH’S DISPLEASURE, FOR ALLAH IS SWIFT IN RECKONING.
Allah the Highest is answering the enquiry of some Muslims who asked Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him about what is allowed and what is prohibited. Allah’s answer is that all good and pure things Allah the Highest created on Earth are permitted. The general rule is the permission, and the exception is the prohibition.
Prohibitions are very clearly stated, in no ambiguous terms, in the Quran or the Hadith, and they are few.
This Ayah deals clearly with the issue of Muslims hunting using trained hunting animals, usually dogs, to catch their pray.
One is allowed to use a trained dog or other animal or birds like a hawk to hunt. That is to say that the animal or bird does the hunting, not just bring the hunted animal to its master.
The animal or bird used should be trained to hunt. Ideally it should wound the pray and not kill it by breaking its neck. It should not eat from the animal.
The master of the animal should invoke Allah’s name when he send it out, and should make sure that only his animal catches the pray, not other animal, and not jointly with other animals he did not invoke Allah’s name on. Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “When you send your dog (to hunt) invoke Allah’s name on it, and when you shoot an arrow, invoke Allah’s name on it”. (Bukhari & Muslim)
And he said prayer and peace upon him: “If you sent your trained dog, and invoke Allah’s name on it, eat what it caught for you”. (Abu Dawood)
If a Muslim is presented with meat he does not know whether Allah’s name has been invoked on when slaughtered or not, one may then mention Allah’s name and eat. Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him was asked: “Allah’s messenger, people who have until recently been disbelievers, bring us meat, and we do not know if Allah’s name has been invoked on it or not?”. Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “You invoke Allah’s name and eat”. (Bukhari:Byo;4)
A Muslim should mention Allah’s name when he starts to eat, if he forgets at the beginning then whenever he remembers. Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him was eating food with six of his companions, then a Bedouin man arrive and finished it in two mouthfuls. Allah’s messenger payer and peace upon him said: “Had he mentioned Allah’s name, it would have been sufficient for you. When one of you eats let him mention Allah’s name, and if he forgets in the beginning then let him say: “In Allah’s name at the beginning and the end”. (Ibn Maga & Ahmed)
A man said to Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him: “We eat, but never feel full?” he said to him: “May be you eat separately, eat together, and mentions Allah’s name on your food and Allah will bless it for you”. (Ahmed & Abu Dawood & Ibn Magah)
Also Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “When a man enters his house, and mentions Allah’s name when he enters and when eating, the devil will say: You can not stay overnight and there is no supper for you here. If he enters without mentioning Allah’s name, the devil will say: You will stay over night. If he does not mention Allah’s name eating his supper, the devil will say: You will stay overnight and have supper”. (Muslim & Abu Dawood & Ibn Magah)
