[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, give me your opinion about my bow." He said, "Whenever you see traces of your arrow on it, say it is pure. But if it hides from your sight, and you can only see the trace of your arrow or it reaches the target, say it is impure." Abu Musa said, "That means it has changed." The scholar, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "It has been reported to me from Abu Suleiman Al-Khattabi, may Allah have mercy on him, that he said: His statement 'what did not reach' means what did not penetrate. And the change of its smell is called as 'sall al-lahm' (literally: the meat fell). And two languages originated from it. And this is according to the meaning of recommended without prohibition, because the change of its smell does not prohibit its consumption." He said, "And it has been narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ate Ihala, which is the meat that has changed its smell."
