Hunting with a rifle and the Kafir's game

Q 1: What is the ruling on hunting with modern rifles which use gunpowder and bullets, if the hunter is a non-Muslim who does not worship any idol? Is it permissible for the Muslim to eat this game?Q 2: What Is the ruling on eating the meat of animals slaughtered by the People of the Book and those similar to them?

A: The ruling of a non-Muslim hunting is the same of his slaughter in terms of Halal and Haram. Hence, if the hunter is a Kitabi (i.e. A Jew or Christian), (Part No. 22; Page No. 519) and mentions the Name of Allah over his slaughtered animal, it is permissible to eat. However, if the he is not a Kitabi, it is not permissible to eat his slaughtered or hunted animal, even if he mentions the name of Allah over it. This clarification also provides an answer for the second question.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
