The Case of One Who Hunts in the State of al-’Ihram, the Expiation and Its Place

2. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad certain persons of his people who have said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘One who owes to offer an offering because of violation of rules in the state of Ihram can slaughter wherever he wants except the ransom for hunting; Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has said, . . an offering and ransom that must reach al-Ka‘bah.” ( 5 : 95 )’”

3. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘If one owes to slaughter an offering because of his hunting in the state of Ihram if he is for al-Hajj, he must slaughter it in Mina’; if he is for al-‘Umrah, then he must slaughter it in Makkah in front of al-Ka‘bah.’”

4. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’ from Aban from Zurarah who has said the following: “Disbursement of ransom is obligatory on a man, who in the state of Ihram kills a prey. Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, has said that he must slaughter such offering in Mina’ if he is for al-Hajj, where other people slaughter; but if he is for al-‘Umrah, then he must slaughter in Makkah; or if he likes, he can wait until he arrives in Makkah to buy, it then is sufficient for him.’”
