[Machine] "He asked the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , saying, 'O Messenger of Allah, should I send my dogs and name them, will they eat from what they catch for me?' He said, 'Yes.' I asked, 'Even if they kill?' He said, 'They should not eat if another dog comes and eats from it.' I asked, 'What if I throw a weapon at it and name it?' He said, 'If it is pierced, then eat it, but if it is only injured, do not eat it.'"

He said, "As long as it does not tear the animal apart, then eat from it. But if it tears it apart, then do not eat it."
