What is the legal ruling in Islamic law regarding hunting rabbits by placing a net over one exit after introducing a mongoose into another exit to startle the rabbit so it exits through the prepared opening?
There is no objection to hunting a rabbit or the like using the method described if the predatory animal is trained, the name of Allah has been pronounced over it, and it has not eaten from the prey. It is permissible for the hunter to slaughter and eat it if the predatory animal caught it but did not kill it.
