(16) باب مَا جَاءَ فِي ذَبِيحَةِ الْمُتَرَدِّيَةِ
Narrated AbulUshara':
AbulUshara' reported on the authority of his father: He asked: Messenger of Allah, is the slaughtering to be done only in the upper part of the breast and the throat? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) replied: If you pierced its thigh, it would serve you.Abu Dawud said: This is the way suitable for slaughtering an animal which has fallen into a well or runs loose.
