Mishkat al-Masabih #3909
Game and Animals Which May Be Slaughtered
Ibn ‘Umar told that he heard God’s messenger prohibit keeping an animal or anything else* waiting to be killed.
*The word translated animal is bahima, which indicates a quadruped. “Anything else” means other creatures which are killed for food. The prohibition is said to refer either to keeping such animals without food and drink, or to imprisoning them and using them as targets.
(Bukhari and Muslim.)
