Notes to Aqdas, Sentence #142
Notes from the Authorized Translation
83. If ye should hunt with beasts or birds of prey,
invoke ye the Name of God when ye send them to
pursue their quarry; for then whatever they catch shall
be lawful unto you, even should ye find it to have
died. # 60
By this law, Baha'u'llah greatly simplifies practices and
religious regulations of the past relating to hunting. He has
also stated that hunting with such weapons as bows and
arrows, guns, and the like, is included in this ruling, but
that the consumption of game if it is found dead in a trap or
a net is prohibited (Q and A 24).
Earl Elder's Notes
1. This may also mean that when you discharge missiles, you are to make mention of God.
