Mentioning Allah's Name When Shooting

Question :

Is it sufficient to say: Bismillahi Wallahu Akbar (in the Name of Allah and Allah is Most Great) when I place the bullet in the gun when hunting, or must I mention Allah when firing the gun? Advise us, and may Allah reward you with goodness.

Answer:

It is an obligation to mention Allah's Name when shooting, and it is not sufficient to mention it when placing the bullet in the gun. This is according to the saying of the Prophet ﷺ :
"If you shoot your bow, mention Allah's Name."

(Agreed upon from the Hadith of 'Adi bin Hatim - may Allah be pleased with him.)
