Chapter: Hunting in al-Haram (the sacred area) and The Expiation for the Same َّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْ٠َحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِ٠) فِي رَجُلٍ أَصَابَ ظَبْياً فِي الْحِلِّ فَاشْتَرَاهُ فَأَدْخَلَهُ الْحَرَ٠َاتَ الظَّبْيُ فِي الْحَرَ٠ِ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ حِينَ أَدْخَلَهُ الْحَرَ٠َ خَلَّى سَبِيلَهُ فَ٠َاتَ فَلا شَيْ‏ءَ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ أَ٠َاتَ عِنْدَهُ فِي الْحَرَ٠ِ فَعَلَيْهِ الْفِدَاءُ.

He (the Imam) said, ‘If he releases it after entering al- Haram (the sacred area) then it dies, he does not owe anything; but if he keeps it after entering al- Haram (the sacred area) and then it dies in al-Haram (the sacred area) with him, he owes the ransom.’” حسن - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (17/97))
