The legal ruling on game killed by an instrument set in ambush (like a set knife).
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Hunting and Slaughter
Primary text
The act of setting a knife ('nassaba sikkinan') that kills game is distinguished from direct hunting actions. The customary practice ('al-'adah') for hunting does not involve setting knives for this purpose.
Supporting text
The act of setting a knife that kills game is not permissible, contrasting with direct hunting where the instrument is actively used by the hunter, because the custom of hunting is not established with stationary, set instruments.
