What is the ruling on eating doves from which no blood flowed after slaughtering?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Hunting an animal is permissible if it is found dead after being shot, and it does not require ritual slaughter (tazkiyah). However, if it is found alive, its ritual slaughter is a condition for its meat to be permissible to eat. If the hunted animal is slaughtered after being shot, it is permissible, even if no blood flows from it, because the bullet wound caused its blood to flow.
