Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Abu Qatadah that Hazrat Abu Qatadah was with people who were in the state of Ihram, while he himself was not in Ihram. His companions saw a wild donkey, but they did not point it out to him; however, he himself saw it. So he picked up a whip from some of them and brought the donkey down, then they ate it and also took some of its meat with them. Later, they met the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and asked him about this matter. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, asked, "Did any of you point towards this game?" The people replied, "No." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Then eat from it."

Hazrat Abdur Rahman narrates that we were on the journey of Hajj with Hazrat Talha bin Ubaidullah and we were in the state of Ihram. A bird (that had been hunted) was brought to us as a gift. Hazrat Talha was resting. Some of us ate it and some refrained and did not eat it. When Hazrat Talha woke up, people mentioned it to him. He approved of those who had eaten it and said: We had eaten it with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

Hazrat Umar bin Khattab did not consider it objectionable to eat the meat of a bird that was hunted by someone other than a Muhrim.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when I returned from Bahrain, I met a group of people from Iraq. They asked me whether a game hunted by a halal (non-pilgrim) person could be eaten by a muhrim (person in the state of ihram). I gave them the verdict that it is permissible to eat. Then I went to Hazrat Umar and sought his opinion regarding this matter. He said, "You have given the correct verdict. If you had given them any other verdict, no one would ever take a verdict from you again."

It is narrated from Hazrat Urwah that Hazrat Zubair bin Al-Awwam, while in the state of Ihram, used to take dried meat of wild donkey as provisions (food for the journey).

Hasan and Hazrat Ata do not see any harm if a muhrim eats an animal hunted by a halal person, provided that the halal person did not hunt it for the muhrim or with his weapon.

Hazrat Ibn Masood was asked: If a person in the state of Ihram meets a group not in Ihram, and they have the meat of a hunted animal with them, can he buy it from them or can they feed it to him? He replied: There is no harm in this.

It is narrated from Hazrat Yazid bin Abdullah bin Shukhair that a person says: We bought the leg of a donkey from the Halal group while in the state of Ihram. Then we passed by Hazrat Abu Dharr and asked him about it. He said: I do not think that you have done anything sinful; there is no harm in it.
