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.

15075 - (W) (1) ‘Abd al-Malik from ‘Ata’ that both of them did not (see) (2) any harm in the muhrim eating what (the halal) (3) had hunted, if it was not hunted for (his sake) (4), or (they said: for him) (5).

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.

Hazrat As-Sa'b bin Jathamah narrates that at the place of Abwa or the place of Waddan, I presented the meat of a wild donkey to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). 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 had no right to return this meat to you, but we are in the state of Ihram.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Hazrat Sa'b bin Jathamah presented the meat of a wild donkey to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). At that time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in the state of Ihram. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned it and said: If we were not in the state of Ihram, we would certainly have accepted it from you.
