Hunting wild pig and giving its meat to someone who will eat it
Fatwa No: 156039

Question

i like to hunt, and i was wondering if it is permissible to hunt wild pigs if the intention is to give the meat away to someone who will eat it? shukran.

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

It is not permissible for you to kill the pig or hunt it with the intention of giving its meat to whomever will eat it, as this is helping in sin while Allaah Says (what means): {Help you one another in virtue, righteousness and piety but do not help one another in sin and transgression. And fear Allaah. Verily, Allaah is Severe in punishment.}[Quran 5:2]

Moreover, the non-Muslims are addressed by the obligations of the Sharee’ah according to the most preponderant opinion of the jurists as we clarified in Fatwa 85569.

Allaah Knows best.
