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

6ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فِي مُحْرِمٍ رَمَى ظَبْياً فَأَصَابَهُ فِي يَدِهِ فَعَرَجَ مِنْهَا قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ الظَّبْيُ مَشَى عَلَيْهَا وَرَعَى فَعَلَيْهِ رُبُعُ قِيمَتِهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ ذَهَبَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَلَمْ يَدْرِ مَا صَنَعَ فَعَلَيْهِ الْفِدَاءُ لأَنَّهُ لا يَدْرِي لَعَلَّهُ قَدْ هَلَكَ.
6. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Ali ibn abu Hamzah from abu Basir who has said the following: “About a man who hunts a deer, the arrow hits one of its front legs and it becomes lame. He (the Imam) said, ‘If the deer walks and grazes he must pay one-fourth of its value and if it goes away and no one knows what happened to it, he must pay the ransom because he does not know; perhaps it died.’”
