Trophy Hunting and Fishing as a sport

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I would like to enquire regarding the permissibility of trophy hunting. This includes animals permissible to eat as well as predator animals. Also is fishing as a sport allowed?

Bismillaah

A: Trophy hunting which is not for eating, then its meat is impermissible, whether it is predatory or eaten animals.

As above. If the fishing is done to eat or sell then it is permissible.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
