The compensation for game and its prohibition for the one in ihram

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Abi Ammar that he said: I set out from Bayt al-Maqdis with Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) and Ka'b, having entered ihram for Umrah. Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) was our leader; we were under his command and he was leading us in prayer. During the journey Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) went away to relieve himself. In the meantime a man met us who had hunted a wild donkey; Ka'b took that meat and gave it to the people of the caravan as a gift. The narrator says: By the time Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) returned, the people's cooking pots were boiling with that meat. He asked, and he was told the situation, whereupon he commanded: "Whoever obeys me, let him overturn his pot!" So Ka'b and the other people overturned their pots. Then, at another stage of the journey, while Ka'b was by a fire, a swarm of locusts passed by there; forgetting his ihram, he caught two locusts and killed them, then when he remembered, he threw them away. On reaching Madinah, when these people came into the presence of Sayyiduna Umar al-Faruq (may Allah be pleased with him), I too was with them. Ka'b related the incident of the locusts and asked: "O Commander of the Faithful, what is your opinion?" He said: "O Ka'b, there is no harm in it." He said: "Yes." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The people of the tribe of Himyar are very fond of locusts. What expiation for it have you thought of in your mind?" He replied: "Two dirhams." He said: "Two dirhams are better than even a hundred locusts. Give what you have decided in your heart."
According to the commentators, Sayyiduna Mu'adh's (may Allah be pleased with him) having the pots overturned was based on piety and caution, so that no doubt of any kind would remain concerning the meat of game in the state of ihram, while Sayyiduna Umar's (may Allah be pleased with him) decision concerned making amends on the basis of forgetfulness and the small quantity.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that he and Ka'b al-Ahbar performed Hajj together. (During the journey) a swarm of locusts appeared, and Ka'b began striking them with his whip. I asked (in surprise): "O Abu Ishaq, are you not in the state of ihram?" He replied: "Of course (I am in ihram), but in fact this locust belongs to the category of sea game, and its creation first began from the nostril of a fish."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at the place "Sifah al-Rawha'" when we came upon a wounded wild donkey. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Surely the owner of this wild donkey is about to come." So hardly any time had passed before its owner arrived and said: "Accept it (as a gift)." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) to distribute it among all the travelling companions. Then we went on from there until, when we reached "al-Uthayah" at "al-Arj", there was a deer lying curled up with an arrow lodged deep in its body. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) to stand by it so as to protect it from the people (interfering with it). And the owner of that wild donkey was a man from the tribe of Banu Bahz.
I (Ibn Hajar) say: Outwardly the chain of this narration appears sahih (authentic), but it is ma'lul (has a hidden defect), as Ali bin al-Madini explained in "Kitab al-'Ilal": he said to Ibn Uyaynah: "The other scholars of hadith differ from you; they do not narrate it with the chain 'Isa bin Talhah from his father'!" Ibn Uyaynah said: "I have narrated the hadith to you; my assumption was that it is from his father." According to Ali bin al-Madini, the correct version is that it is narrated as "Isa bin Talhah from al-Bahzi."

Hisham narrates from his father (Urwah bin al-Zubayr) that Sayyiduna al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) used to keep with him, as provision for the journey, the sun-dried meat of hunted wild animals, and he would eat it even in the state of ihram.
This narration is sahih (authentic) and mawquf (based on the action of a Companion).

Abd al-Rahman bin Dhu'ayb al-Asadi narrates: I accompanied Sayyiduna al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) on the journey from Madinah to Makkah while he was in the state of ihram. I saw that he was eating the meat of land game, so when I asked him about it, he explained that it had been hunted by a person who was free of the restrictions of ihram (halal), "and I myself asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about this matter, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not consider there to be any harm or objection of any kind in this action."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Commander of the Faithful, Sayyiduna Umar al-Faruq (may Allah be pleased with him), issued this ruling [concerning the expiation for hunting in the state of ihram]: "For a jerboa (a squirrel-like rodent), a jafrah (a four-month-old female kid); for hunting a hyena, a ram; for a deer, a goat; and for a rabbit, an 'anaq (a young female goat), is due as recompense."
Yazid bin Zuray' has also reported this narration through Abu al-Zubayr, while in the narration of Ahmad bin Mani' only the jerboa is mentioned. In addition, in the chain of Imam Abu Ya'la there is this scholarly addition, that the narrator says: "My strong opinion is that Sayyiduna Umar al-Faruq (may Allah be pleased with him) reported this ruling from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) as marfu' (that is, as being his (peace and blessings be upon him) own statement)."

Imam Abu Ya'la (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned this same narration (with his own chain) from Abu al-Zubayr, but with this addition: (The narrator said:) "My view is that he narrated it as marfu' (attributed to the Prophet)."

Ikrimah, the freed slave of Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), relates that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) issued this ruling concerning a muhrim (a person in the state of ihram) who breaks ostrich eggs: "Let the stallion loose upon your she-camels, then when their pregnancy becomes evident, designate (the young to be born) in the same number as the eggs you destroyed, and say that these are 'hady' (sacrificial animals); you are not responsible for guaranteeing their safety. So those of them that are born healthy will serve as the expiation, and for those that are lost there is no burden upon you, because this matter is just like that of eggs: some of them turn out useful and some go bad." The narrator says: Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) expressed surprise at this insightful ruling of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), whereupon Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "Rather than this ijtihad, Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) prefers only the method in which an amount equal to the market price of those eggs is given in charity."

It is narrated from Ikrimah (may Allah have mercy on him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave this ruling concerning the hyena: "A ram is to be given (as ransom) in its place," and he (peace and blessings be upon him) declared it to be game proper.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave this ruling: "If a hunting dog is killed, its compensation is forty dirhams; for a dog that guards livestock, one goat; for a dog that guards crops, one faraq (a measure) of grain; while for a dog merely kept in a house (without a lawful need), one faraq of dust is to be given. It is binding on the one responsible for the killer to pay it, and binding on the owner of the house to accept it."
The chain of this hadith is extremely weak and feeble to the utmost degree.
