the wound ; and, fccondly, to pay a compenfation for half the value
which the game bore after receiving both woünds ; and, thirdly, to
pay a compenfation of half the value of the flefh. The reafon for the
firft compenfation is that the fécond hunter, having occafioned a
damage to an animal which was the property of another, is bound,
in the firft inftance, to make good the amount of that damage. The
reafon for the fécond compenfation is that, as the animal died of both
wounds, the fécond wound muft have been the immediate caufe of its
deftrudtion ; and as it was at that time the property of another perfon,
it is incumbent upon him to make a compenfation for h a lf the value
which it bore after receiving both wounds, as the firft wound did
not proceed from him. (With refpeft to the damage occafioned by
the fécond wound, having paid it before, he is not required to pay it
again.) T h e reafon for the third compenfation is that, as the game,
after receiving the firft wound, ’was in fuch a ftate as to have rendered
it lawful by a Zabbah Ikhtiàree, if it had not received the fecbnd
wound, it follows that the fécond hunter, in confequenCe of the
fécond wound, did render unlawful half o f the flefh with refpeft to
the firft hunter. He is only required, however, to pay a compenfation
for one h a lf of the flefh, as he paid the: other half before, inaf-
much as he paid half the value, which included the flefh.
Cafe of game I f , inftead of two perfons fhooting the game, one. perfon fhoot
and the fame game, twice, the law is then the fame with-refpeft to the
killed by the illegality of the game, as when it receives two wounds from two dif-
fame perfon. perpons . _ this being fimilar to where a perfon, having fhot
game upon any eminence, and rendered it weak and feeble, afterwards
fhoots it a fecond time, and brings it to the ground,— in which cafe
the game fo killed is. unlawful, inafmuch as the fecond wound is the
caufe of illegality; and fo alfo in the cafe in queftion.
Tiie
T he hunting of every fpecies of animal is lawful, whether' they
be fit for eating or otherwife; becaufe the legality of hunting has been
abfolutely declared in the K oran without reftrifting it to animals fit
to eat. Another reafon is, that the hunting of animals not fit for eating
may proceed either from a defire to obtain their (kin, their wool,
or their feathers, or from a wifti to exterminate them on account
of their being mifchievous or hurtful; and all thefe motives are
laudable.
All animals
may be
hunted.
