Penalty of Hunting while on Pilgrimage
28/17. Chapter:
Carrying of arms by a Muhrim
وَقَالَ عِكْرِمَةُ إِذَا خَشِيَ الْعَدُوَّ لَبِسَ السِّلاَحَ وَافْتَدَى. وَلَمْ يُتَابَعْ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْفِدْيَةِ.According to ‘Ikrima one can carry arms if he fears the enemy, but the Fidya (compulsory penalty) has to be paid. No religious scholar agrees with him on necessitating the Fidya.
Sahih Bukhari
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ اعْتَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ، فَأَبَى أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ أَنْ يَدَعُوهُ يَدْخُلُ مَكَّةَ، حَتَّى قَاضَاهُمْ لاَ يُدْخِلُ مَكَّةَ سِلاَحًا إِلاَّ فِي الْقِرَابِ.
Narrated Al-Bara: The Prophet (ﷺ) assumed Ihram for Umra in the month of Dhul-Qa'da but the (pagan) people of Mecca refused to admit him into Mecca till he agreed on the condition that he would not bring into Mecca any arms but sheathed.
