حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْعُشَرَائِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمَا تَکُونُ الذَّکَاةُ إِلَّا مِنْ اللَّبَّةِ أَوْ الْحَلْقِ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَوْ طَعَنْتَ فِي فَخِذِهَا لَأَجْزَأَ عَنْکَ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد وَهَذَا لَا يَصْلُحُ إِلَّا فِي الْمُتَرَدِّيَةِ وَالْمُتَوَحِّشِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2825
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.
