Nafi' said: I killed two birds with a stone in a ravine. One died, and Abdullah ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) threw it away. I ran to slaughter the other, but it died before I could slaughter it, and Abdullah ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) threw that one away as well.

Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) was informed that Hazrat Qasim bin Muhammad considered it disliked to eat an animal that was killed with a stick or a bullet.

Hazrat Sa'id bin al-Musayyib considered it disliked to kill a startled animal in the manner that game is killed, such as with an arrow, etc.

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: If a stick has a pointed iron attached to it, and its point strikes the game and wounds it, then eating it is permissible.

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that Allah the Exalted has said: "O you who believe! Allah will surely test you with something of the game which your hands and your spears can reach." And whatever animal a person kills with his hands or his arrows is included in game.

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: I have heard from the people of knowledge, they used to say: If a person wounds game, and then the game suffers another injury, such as falling into water or being struck by an unknown dog, then it should not be eaten except in the case where it is certain that the animal died from the wound inflicted by the hunter. Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: If the game, after being wounded, disappears and is then found with a mark of the hunting dog's wound or the hunter's arrow still in it, then eating it is permissible. However, if a night has passed over it, then eating it is disliked.
