Some Ahadith are presented in the article. In brief, hunting is totally forbidden in the state of Ihram of either Hajj or Umrah and requires ‘kuffara’ (expiation) if one intentionally or unintentionally hunts or kills a soul. Under other conditions, hutting is condemned as recreational or adopted as a hobby. It is strictly forbidden to hunt during the night time when birds/animal are resting and must not be disturbed during their sleeping hours.

As an example, Imam -asws says, when a bird comes to your property seeking shelter than give it a shelter rather than catching/hunting it. الْمُخْتَلَفُ، نَقْلًا مِنْ كِتَابِ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: خُرْءُ الْخُطَّافِ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ هُوَ مِمَّا يُؤْكَلُ لَحْمُهُ وَ لَكِنْ كُرِهَ أَكْلُهُ لِأَنَّهُ اسْتَجَارَ بِكَ وَ أَوَى إِلَى مَنْزِلِكَ وَ كُلُّ طَيْرٍ يَسْتَجِيرُ بِكَ فَأَجِرْهُ‏.

(The book) ‘Al Mukhtalaf’ – copying from the book of Ammar Bin Musa, ‘From Al-Sadiq -asws having said: ‘Excrement of the swallows (bird), there is no problem with it. It is from what its meat can be eaten, but it is disliked to eat it because it seeks shelter with you, and shelters to your house, and every bird seeking shelter with you, shelter it ’’.
