Hazrat Ubaidullah bin Umar (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Nafi' (may Allah have mercy on him) threw a stone at a pigeon and knocked it down. He caught it and passed an adze over its neck to slaughter it, but it died before he could slaughter it, so he threw it away.

Hazrat Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) says that if you try to reach the hunted animal and it dies before you reach it, then there is no harm in eating it. But if you catch it and also have the opportunity to slaughter it, yet you do not slaughter it, then do not eat it.

Hazrat Sha’bah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I asked Hazrat Hakam (may Allah have mercy on him) that if a person reaches his prey and there is still some life left in it, but his dog kills it, then what is the ruling regarding such prey? He replied that he should not eat it.

Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) says that if a man sends his dog for hunting, and when the man reaches the prey, there is still some life left in it, but it dies in his hand, then if his dog was trained, the man may eat it.
