Hunting in احرام(الصيد في الإحرام) The prohibition of hunting, killing, or disturbing wild land animals while in the state of احرام. This is explicitly mentioned in قرآن مجید (Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:95-96) and applies to all حجاج in احرام.
الصيد في الإحرام
The قرآن directly addresses this prohibition: 'O you who believe, do not kill game while you are in احرام' (5:95). This covers all wild land animals including birds, mammals, and reptiles. The حاجی may not hunt, assist in hunting, point out game to hunters, or eat meat from an animal hunted specifically for them. However, fishing and consuming seafood remain permissible. If a حاجی violates this rule, they must offer compensation equivalent to the animal killed — either sacrificing a similar domestic animal, feeding the poor its equivalent value, or fasting equivalent days. Harmful creatures (scorpions, snakes, aggressive dogs) may be killed in self-defense even during احرام.
