death with a piece of wood. (i.e. unlawful).” I asked, “If I let loose my trained hound after a game?”
He said, “If you let loose your trained hound after game, and mention the name of Allah, then you can
eat.” I said, “If the hound eats of the game?” He said “Then you should not eat of it, for the hound has
hunted the game for itself and not for you.” I said, “Some times I send my hound and then I find some
