Hunting in al-Haram (the sacred area) and The Expiation for the Same

19. Certain persons of our people have narrated from abu Jarir al-Qummiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan عليه السلام, about the case of our buying hawks and taking them to al-Haram (the sacred area), if we owe anything. He (the Imam) said, ‘If one takes any of the birds that when flying, flap their wing, he has taken them to their sanctuary, and should leave them there.’”
