Sahih Muslim 1196e (Book 15, Hadith 65) #10000
Hunting While in Ihram

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) allowed his companions to eat the meat of a wild ass they had hunted, even though they were in the state of Ihram, as long as no one had commanded them to hunt it.

'Abdullah b. Abu Qatada reported on the authority of his father (Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out for Pilgrimage and we also set out along with him. He (Abu Qatada) said: There proceeded on some of his Companions and Abu Qatada was (one of them). He (the Prophet) said: You proceed along the coastline till you meet me. He (Abu Qatada) said: So they proceeded ahead of the Prophet of Allah ﷺ, all of them had entered upon the state of Ihram, except Abu Qatada; he had not put on ihram. As they went on they saw a wild ass, and Abu Qatada attacked it and cut off its hind legs. They got down and ate its meat. They said: We ate meat In the state of Ihram. They carried the meat that was left of it. As they came to the Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon him) they said: Messenger of Allah, we were in the state of Ihram whereas Abu Qatada was not. We saw a wild ass and Abu Qatada attacked it and cut off its hind legs. We got down and ate its meat and we thus ate the meat of a game while we were In the state of Ihram. We have (carried to you) what was left out of its meat. Thereupon he (the holy Prophet) said: Did anyone among you command him (to hunt) or point to him with anything (to do so)? They said: #Thereupon he said: Then eat what is left out of its meat.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about hunting while in the state of ihram. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his companions were on their way for pilgrimage when they saw a wild ass and some of them attacked it and cut off its hind legs. They then ate its meat, which was against Islamic law since they were in the state of ihram. When they told this to the Prophet ﷺ he asked if anyone among them had commanded or pointed at Abu Qatada to hunt it, and when he found out that no one did he said that what was left from its meat could be eaten. This teaches us that we should not do anything against Islamic law unless we are specifically instructed by someone who knows better than us or has more knowledge about Islam than us. It also teaches us that if something is done unintentionally then there may be leniency given by Allah SWT depending on our intentions and sincerity towards Him SWT.
