Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he was with some of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) companions who were in the state of ihram, while he himself was not in ihram. He rode a horse and hunted a wild donkey and ate its meat, but his companions refused to eat. They asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: Did you signal, kill, or hunt it? They replied: No. He said: There is no harm in it, eat it.
