(Book 20, Hadith 250) #36013
Restrictions and Compensation for Ihram

SUMMARY: This hadith discusses the restrictions and compensation for someone who is in ihram, as well as the consequences of breaking these restrictions.

Malik said, concerning someone who wishes to wear clothes that a person in ihram must not wear, or cut his hair, or touch perfume without necessity, because he finds it easy to pay the compensation, "No-one must do such things. They are only allowed in cases of necessity, and compensation is owed by whoever does them". Malik was asked whether the culprit could choose for himself the method of compensation he makes, and he was asked what kind of animal was to be sacrificed, and how much food was to be given, and how many days were to be fasted, and whether the person could delay any of these, or if they had to be done immediately. He answered, 'Whenever there are alternatives in the Book of Allah for the kaffara, the culprit can choose to do whichever of the alternatives he prefers. As for the sacrifice - a sheep, and as for the fasting - three days. As for the food - feeding six poor men, for every poor man two Mudds, by the first mudd, the mudd of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace". Malik said, "I have heard one of the people of knowledge saying, 'When a person in ihram throws something and hits game unintentionally and kills it, he must pay compensation. In the same way, someone outside the Haram who throws anything into the Haram and hits game he did not intend to, killing it, has to pay compensation, because the intentional and the mistaken are in the same position in this matter'. " Malik said, concerning people who kill game together while they are muhrim or in the Haram, "I think that each one of them owes a full share. If a sacrificial animal is decided for them, each one of them owes one, and if fasting is decided for them, the full fasting is owed by each one of them. The analogy of that is a group of people who kill a man by mistake and the kaffara for that is that each person among them must free a slave or fast two consecutive months". Malik said, "Anyone who stones or hunts game after stoning the jamra and shaving his head but before he has performed the tawaf al-ifada, owes compensation for that game, because Allah the Blessed, the Exalted said, 'And when you leave ihram, then hunt,' and restrictions still remain for someone who has not done the tawaf al-ifada about touching perfume and women". Malik said, "The person in ihram does not owe anything for plants he cuts down in the Haram and it has not reached us that anyone has given a decision of anything for it, but O how wrong is what he has done! " Malik said, concerning some one who was ignorant of, or who forgot the fast of three days in the hajj, or who was ill during them and so did not fast them until he had returned to his community, "He must offer a sacrificial animal (hady) if he can find one and if not he must fast the three days among his people and the remaining seven after that".

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the rules and regulations that must be followed by someone who is in ihram. It states that no one should wear clothes, cut their hair, or touch perfume without necessity while in ihram. If they do so, they must pay a compensation to make up for it. The compensation can include sacrificing an animal such as a sheep or fasting three days or feeding six poor people two mudds each. Additionally, if someone throws something into the Haram unintentionally and kills game with it, they must also pay a compensation. If multiple people kill game together while in ihram then each person owes a full share of the compensation which could include sacrificing an animal or fasting two consecutive months. Lastly, if someone stones or hunts game before performing tawaf al-ifada then they owe a compensation for that game as well. However, if someone cuts down plants within the Haram then no punishment is due but it is still wrong to do so nonetheless.
