Sahih al-Bukhari 5266 (Book 72, Hadith 4)
our meals in their utensils? In that land there is plenty of game and I hunt the game with my bow and
with my hound that is not trained and with my trained hound. Then what is lawful for me to eat?” He
said, “As for what you have mentioned about the people of the Scripture, if you can get utensils other
than theirs, do not eat out of theirs, but if you cannot get other than theirs, wash their utensils and eat
out of it. If you hunt an animal with your bow after mentioning Allah’s Name, eat of it. and if you hunt
something with your trained hound after mentioning Allah’s Name, eat of it, and if you hunt
something with your untrained hound (and get it before it dies) and slaughter it, eat of it.”
“ أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ فَإِنْ وَجَدْتُمْ غَيْرَهَا فَلاَ تَأْكُلُوا فِيهَا، وَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا فَاغْسِلُوهَا وَكُلُوا فِيهَا، وَمَا صِدْتَ بِقَوْسِكَ فَذَكَرْتَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ فَكُلْ، وَمَا صِدْتَ بِكَلْبِكَ الْمُعَلَّمِ فَذَكَرْتَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ فَكُلْ، وَمَا صِدْتَ بِكَلْبِكَ غَيْرَ مُعَلَّمٍ فَأَدْرَكْتَ ذَكَاتَهُ فَكُلْ ”.
