YAHYA, too, was puzzled and felt humiliated when the Imam addressed him thus: "Your question is utterly vague and lacks definition.

You should first clarify whether the game killed was outside the sanctified area or inside it; whether the hunter was aware of his sin or did so in ignorance; did he kill the game purposely or by mistake; was the hunter a slave or a free man; was he adult or a minor; did he commit the sin fro the first time or had he done so before; was the hunted game a bird or something else; was it a small animal or a big one; is the sinner sorry for the misdeed or does he insist on it; did he kill it secretly at night or openly during daylight; was he putting on the pilgrimage grab for HAJJ or for the 'UMRA?!
