Hadith 7385

Yahya related to me from Malik, from Ibn Shihab, that Salim ibnAbdullah heard Abu Hurayra relating to Abdullah ibn Umar how a groupof three people in ihram had passed him at ar-Rabadha and had askedhim for a fatwa about eating game which people who were not in ihramwere eating, and he told them that they could eat it. He said, "Then Iwent to Umar ibn al-Khattab in Madina and asked him about it, and hesaid, 'What did you say to them?' and I said, 'I told them that theycould eat it.' Umar said, 'If you had told them anything else I wouldhave done you an injury.' "
