Narrates `Abdullah bin Mughaffal: While we were besieging the castle of Khaibar, Somebody threw a skin full of fat and I went ahead to take it, but on looking behind, I saw the Prophet and I felt shy in his presence (and did not take it).

Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) also permitted this. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that an animal which, despite being under your control, overpowers you (and does not allow itself to be slaughtered) is also subject to the same ruling as game, and (he said that) if a camel falls into a well, then slaughter it from whichever side is possible. This is also the fatwa of Ali, Ibn Umar, and Aisha (may Allah be pleased with them all).

Narrated Rafi bin Khadij: I said, "O Allah's Apostle! We are going to face the enemy tomorrow and we do not have knives." He said, "Hurry up (in killing the animal). If the killing tool causes blood to flow out, and if Allah's Name is mentioned, eat (of the slaughtered animal). But do not slaughter with a tooth or a nail. I will tell you why: As for the tooth, it is a bone; and as for the nail, it is the knife of Ethiopians." Then we got some camels and sheep as war booty, and one of those camels ran away, whereupon a man shot it with an arrow and stopped it. Allah's Apostle said, "Of these camels there are some which are as wild as wild beasts, so if one of them (runs away and) makes you tired, treat it in this manner."

And Ibn Jurayj narrated from Ata that slaughtering (dhabh) and sacrificing (nahr) can only be done at the place of slaughtering, that is, at the throat, and at the place of sacrificing, that is, at the upper part of the chest. I asked,“Is it sufficient to sacrifice (by stabbing at the upper chest) those animals which are usually slaughtered (by cutting at the throat)?”He said,“Yes. Allah has mentioned the slaughtering of the cow (in the Quran). So if you slaughter an animal which is usually sacrificed (like a camel), it is permissible, but in my opinion, sacrificing it (nahr) is better. Slaughtering is the cutting of the veins of the neck.”I asked,“While cutting the veins of the neck, should the spinal cord also be cut?”He said,“I do not consider it necessary, and Nafi‘ informed me that Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) forbade cutting the spinal cord. He said, ‘Only cut up to the neck bone (the veins), and then leave it so that the animal dies.’ And Allah, the Exalted, said (in Surah al-Baqarah) «وإذ قال موسى لقومه إن الله يأمركم أن تذبحوا بقرة‏» ‘And when Musa (Moses) said to his people: Indeed, Allah commands you to slaughter a cow.’ And He said «فذبحوها وما كادوا يفعلون‏» ‘Then they slaughtered it, though they almost did not do it.’ Sa‘id narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that slaughtering can be done at the throat or at the upper part of the chest. Ibn ‘Umar, Ibn ‘Abbas, and Anas (may Allah be pleased with them all) said that if the head is cut off, there is no harm.

Narrated Asma bint Abu Bakr: We slaughtered a horse (by Nahr) during the lifetime of the Prophet and ate it.

Narrated Asma': We slaughtered a horse (by Dhabh) during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle while we were at Medina, and we ate it.

Narrated Asma' bint Abu Bakr: We slaughtered a horse (by Nahr) during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle and ate it.

Narrated Hisham bin Zaid: Anas and I went to Al-Hakam bin Aiyub. Anas saw some boys shooting at a tied hen. Anas said, "The Prophet has forbidden the shooting of tied or confined animals."

Narrated Ibn `Umar: that he entered upon Yahya bin Sa`id while one of Yahya's sons was aiming at a hen after tying it. Ibn `Umar walked to it and untied it. Then he brought it and the boy and said. "Prevent your boys from tying the birds for the sake of killing them, as I have heard the Prophet forbidding the killing of an animal or other living thing after tying them."

Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair: While I was with Ibn `Umar, we passed by a group of young men who had tied a hen and started shooting at it. When they saw Ibn `Umar, they dispersed, leaving it. On that Ibn `Umar said, "Who has done this? The Prophet cursed the one who did so."
