Praise be to Allaah.
It is narrated that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon
him) forbade al-mujaththamah (the animal that is used as a target).
That is in the hadeeth which was narrated by al-Tirmidhi (1393) from
Abu'l-Darda' (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger
of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) forbade eating
al-mujaththamah, whichis the animal that has been shot to death with
arrows. It was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami'
(6857).
What is meant by al-mujaththamah has been explained by the narrator of
the hadeeth who said: it is the animalthat has been shot to death with
arrows.
In other words, it is the animal that has been held or tied and shot
with arrows until it died.The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allaah
be upon him) forbade eating it because it is maytah (dead meat), and
has not been slaughtered in accordance with sharee'ah.
