(Sunan al-Nasa’i, Manasik al-Hajj, Chapter: What is Permissible to Eat from Game, Hadith: 2819)
Therefore, if someone hunts an animal for himself and then gives it to a person in the state of ihram, it is permissible for the person in ihram to eat its meat, as this ruling is also established from the following narration.
