The Differences in Hunting on Land and in the Sea and Lawful Hunting in the State of al-’ Ihram

8ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْجَرَادِ يَدْخُلُ مَتَاعَ الْقَوْمِ فَيَدُوسُونَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ تَعَمُّدٍ لِقَتْلِهِ أَوْ يَمُرُّونَ بِهِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ فَيَطَئُونَهُ قَالَ إِنْ وَجَدْتَ مَعْدِلاً فَاعْدِلْ عَنْهُ فَإِنْ قَتَلْتَهُ غَيْرَ مُتَعَمِّدٍ فَلا بَأْسَ.
8. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar from abu Basir who has said the following: “I once asked him (the Imam) عليه السلام, about locusts which get into the people’s goods and they unintentionally trample upon them or when passing on the road; step on them. He (the Imam) said, ‘If you can, avoid it but if you kill it unintentionally, then there is nothing on you.”’
