What is the ruling regarding game (like a gazelle) that is found with evidence of prior ownership?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Lost-and-Found Property
Primary text
If a gazelle is hunted and found with signs indicating prior possession, such as being marked (makhdub), having an ornament (hirz) on its neck, or an earring (qirt) in its ear, it is considered lost property (luqatah). This is because such signs serve as proof that it was previously owned. The rule follows the evidence of prior established ownership.
