CHAPTER: IT IS FORBIDDEN TO TIE THE ANIMALS (AND THEN KILL THEM)
No. 4812
Hishim b. Zaid b. Anas b. Milik reported: I visited the house of al-Hakam b. Ayyub along with my grandfather Anas b. Milik, (and there) some people had made a hen a target and were shooting arrows at her. Thereupon Asas said that Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) had forbidden tying of the animals (and making them the targets of arrows, etc.). This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Shu'ba through other chains of transmitters.
