Hunting in al-Haram (the sacred area) and The Expiation for the Same
13ـ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ زِيَادٍ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْوَاسِطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْمٍ قَفَّلُوا عَلَى طَائِرٍ مِنْ حَمَامِ الْحَرَمِ الْبَابَ فَمَاتَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِقِيمَةِ كُلِّ طَيْرٍ [نِصْفُ] دِرْهَمٍ يُعْلَفُ بِهِ حَمَامُ الْحَرَمِ.
13. From Safwan ibn Yahya has narrated from Ziyad abu al-Hassan al-Wasitiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ibrahim عليه السلام, about the case of a people who lock a door on pigeons of al-Haram (the sacred area) and they die. He (the Imam) said, ‘They are required to pay the price of every bird which is one [half] dirham with which pigeons of al-Haram (the sacred area) are fed.’”
