Hadith 7251

Yahya related to me from Malik, from Hisham ibn Urwa, from hisfather, that A'isha, umm al-muminin, said to him, "Son of my sister,it is only for ten nights, so if you get an urge to do something,leave it," by which she meant eating game-meat.Malik saidthat if game was hunted forthe sake of a man who is in ihram and itwas prepared for him and he ate some of it knowing that it had beenhunted for his sake, then he had to pay a forfeit for all of the gamethat had been hunted on his behalf.Malik was asked aboutwhether someone who was forced to eat carrion while he was in ihramshould hunt game and then eat that rather than the carrion, and hesaid, "It is better for him to eat the carrion, because Allah, theBlessed and Exalted, has not given permission for someone in ihram toeither eat game or take it in any situation, but He has madeallowances for eating carrion when absolutely necessary."Malik said, "It is not halal for anyone, whether in ihram or not, toeat game which has been killed or sacrificed by some one in ihram,because, whether it was killed deliberately or by mistake, it was notdone in a halal manner, and so eating it is not halal. I have heardthis from more than one person. Somebody who kills game and then eatsit only has to make a single kaffara, which is the same as forsomebody who kills game but does not eat any of it."
