لَا بَأْسَ بِصَيْدِهِمْ إِنَّمَا صَيْدُ الْحِيتَانِ أَخْذُهُ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْحَظِيرَةِ مِنَ الْقَصَبِ تُجْعَلُ فِي الْمَاءِ لِلْحِيتَانِ تَدْخُلُ فِيهَا الْحِيتَانُ فَيَمُوتُ بَعْضُهَا فِيهَا فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ إِنَّ تِلْكَ الْحَظِيرَةَ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَتْ لِيُصَادَ بِهَا .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having been asked about a hunting of the Magians for the fishes when they strike over it with the netting, and they are naming it with the Polytheism (Shirk). So he<sup>asws</sup> said; ‘There is no problem with their hunting. But rather, hunting of the fishes is their catching it’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the enclosure of canes made to be in the water for the fishes. The fishes enter into it, so some of them are dying in it. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem with it. That enclosure, rather it was made to be for hunting with it’.
