I asked the Prophet ﷺ about game struck by the miraad arrow. He said, "Whatever it strikes with its sharp edge, you may eat. But whatever it strikes with its broad side is considered killed by a blunt blow, so do not eat it."
سألت النبي ﷺ عن صيد المعراض فقال: ما أصاب بحده فكل، وما أصاب بعرضه فهو وقيذ.
Bukhari narrated it in Sacrificial Animals (5475), and Muslim narrated it in Hunting (1929:4), both from the hadith of Zakariya, from Amir, from Adi bin Hatim, who related it.His saying, "and that which falls to its death" [Maidah 5:3] refers to an animal that falls from a height or an elevated place such as a mountain, a wall, or a roof, and dies as a result, and likewise an animal that falls into a well.His saying, "and that which is gored to death" [Maidah 5:3] is in the pattern "faeelah" carrying the sense of "mafoolah," that is, "gored." It refers to an animal that another animal gores, causing it to die.His saying, "and that which a wild beast has eaten" [Maidah 5:3] means whatever a predator such as a lion, leopard, tiger, wolf, or dog has hunted, and likewise birds of prey that hunt other creatures. If an animal dies as a result of being hunted by a predator, it is not lawful to eat.The people of the pre-Islamic era used to eat whatever a predator had left over from a sheep, a camel, a cow, or the like, so Allah forbade that to the believers.His saying, "except what you slaughter" [Maidah 5:3] refers back to what had just been mentioned, namely "that which is strangled, that which is beaten to death, that which falls to its death, that which is gored to death, and that which a wild beast has eaten" [Maidah 5:3]. So if life still remains in the animal and it is properly slaughtered, then eat it.More than one scholar among the companions, the successors, and those who came after them stated that a slaughtered animal, whenever it moves with a motion indicating that life still remains in it after the slaughter, is lawful.
