Sahih al-Bukhari 5284 (Book 72, Hadith 22)
Scripture, and we take our meals in their utensils, and there is game in that land and I hunt with my
bow and with my trained hound and with my untrained hound.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “As for your saying
that you are in the land of people of the Scripture, you should not eat in their utensils unless you find
no alternative, in which case you must wash the utensils and then eat in them As for your saying that
you are in the land of game, if you hunt something with your bow, mention Allah’s Name (while
hunting the game) and eat; and if you hunt something with your trained hound, mention Allah’s Name
on sending and eat; and if you hunt something with your untrained hound and get it alive, slaughter it
and you can eat of it.”
“ أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ أَنَّكَ بِأَرْضِ أَهْلِ كِتَابٍ فَلاَ تَأْكُلُوا فِي آنِيَتِهِمْ، إِلاَّ أَنْ لاَ تَجِدُوا بُدًّا، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا بُدًّا فَاغْسِلُوهَا وَكُلُوا، وَأَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ أَنَّكُمْ بِأَرْضِ صَيْدٍ، فَمَا صِدْتَ بِقَوْسِكَ، فَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ وَكُلْ، وَمَا صِدْتَ بِكَلْبِكَ الْمُعَلَّمِ، فَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ وَكُلْ، وَمَا صِدْتَ بِكَلْبِكَ الَّذِي لَيْسَ بِمُعَلَّمٍ، فَأَدْرَكْتَ ذَكَاتَهُ، فَكُلْهُ ”.
