Is hunting and fishing permissible if the intention is to eat the meat?

Answer

If your livelihood is dependent on hunting and fishing, then it is permissible. But just to eat meat of wild animals whilst you are not dependent on this, hunting will not be permissible. You are living in a city and your daily life and food are not reliant on hunting and fishing. Fresh fish may be purchased from fish stores. Don't squander the valuable ni'mat of Time for gaining nafsaani pleasure, and do not be a sadist deriving pleasure from the pains inflicted on the animals when this is avoidable.
