A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Ali ibn Ri’ab from abu ‘Ubayda who said: “I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.) about a man who buys ostrich eggs for someone who is in the state of Ihram and he (the man in the state of Ihram) eats it.

He (the Imam) said, ‘The one who bought it to the one in the state of Ihram owes ransom, and the one in the state of Ihram owes ransom.’ I then asked, ‘How much?‘ He (the Imam) replied, ‘Upon the person who is not in the state of Ihram is a penalty of the price of the eggs, for each egg being a Dirham; and upon the one in Ihram is the penalty, for each egg being a sheep.’” A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Ali ibn Ri’ab from abu ‘Ubaydah has narrated from a similar Hadith.
