Expiation for Hunting Wild Animals in the State of al-’ Ihram

10. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub and certain persons of our people from Sahl ibn Ziyad from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Ali ibn Ri’ab from abu ‘Ubaydah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has stated this rule about the following case of hunting. ‘If one in the state of Ihram kills an animal and does not find anything at that place for its expiation, he must evaluate a head of the cattle in terms of dirham. He then must evaluate dirham in terms of foodstuff. He must give half of a Sa‘ (a certain measurement) to every destitute person; and if he cannot afford this also, then he must fast one day for every half Sa‘.’”
