Allah has pardoned whatever is a thing of the past.
Allah has pardoned whatever is a thing of the past....." So, if a person does not pay attention to these frequent warnings and the ordinance of atonement and hunts at the time of being in the pilgrim garb, Allah will take vengeance of such a person and Allah is Mighty to take vengeance in the appropriate time. It says: "...
"The game of the sea and its food is lawful for you, a provision for you and (for the caravans, but the game of the land is forbidden to you, so long as you are in pilgrim garb; and be in awe of Allah toward Whom you will be gathered." The words in this holy verse are about the hunts of the sea. It says: "The games of the sea and its food are lawful for you....." The objective meaning of 'food', mentioned in this verse, is the food that can be prepared from the hunted fish.
The verse intends to make two things admissible. One of them is 'hunting', and the other is 'consuming the food made from the hunted things.' Then, the Qur'an points to the philosophy of this ordinance, implying that this permission is for the sake that you and the travelers can enjoy it.
It says: "….provision for you and for the caravans....." In other words, the verse means: for the sake that you do not fall in trouble for nutrition when you are in pilgrim garb, and that you can be able to enjoy one kind of hunting, this permission has been given due to the hunts of the sea. As an emphasis, the Qur'an returns to the former ordinance once more, and says: "...
but the game of the land is forbidden to you so long as you are in pilgrim garb…." And, at the end of the verse, in order to emphasize upon all the ordinances that were mentioned, it says: "... and be in awe of Allah toward whom you will be gathered." The Philosophy of No Hunting when Being in Pilgrim Garb! We know that the performance of Hajj and 'Umrah is one of the worships that makes man aloof from the world of matter and brings him into an environment full of spiritualities.
