Those who disliked a person in ihram eating it

Sayyiduna al-Sa'b bin Jaththamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: At al-Abwa' or at Waddan, I presented the meat of a wild ass to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was in the state of ihram. He (peace and blessings be upon him) returned it and said: "We would have had no reason to return this meat to you, but we are in ihram."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna al-Sa'b bin Jaththamah (may Allah be pleased with him) presented the meat of a wild ass to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was in the state of ihram. He (peace and blessings be upon him) returned it and said: "Were we not in ihram, we would certainly have accepted it from you."

It is reported about Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he disliked both fresh and dried game meat for the person in ihram.

Sayyiduna al-Sa'b (may Allah be pleased with him) sent a wild ass as a gift to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Return it to him, for we are in ihram."

Tawus used to forbid the person in ihram from eating game meat, whether it was dried travel meat (washiqah) or otherwise.

Abu al-Sha'tha' disliked eating it for the person in ihram, and he would recite this verse of the Holy Qur'an: "And the game of the land is forbidden to you as long as you are in the state of ihram." [Al-Ma'idah: 96]

It is narrated from Urwah that Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to me: "O my nephew, these are only a few nights; if anything troubles your heart, then leave it."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: This meat is mubham (unclear).

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) disliked eating it.

Abdullah bin al-Harith said: Partridges were brought as a gift to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was in the state of ihram during one of his Hajj journeys. He ordered them to be cooked; tharid was made from them and brought in large bowls. We were all in the state of ihram, and we all ate from it except Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), who did not eat any of it.

Isma'il said: I asked al-Sha'bi about it, and he said: "There is a difference of opinion about it; in my view it is preferable that you do not eat it."
