Is hunting permissible within the boundaries of the Sacred Precinct of Madinah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is hunting permissible within the boundaries of the Sacred Precinct of Madinah?

Answer:
There is no harm in hunting in the Sacred Precinct of Madinah. What is forbidden is its grass and trees, but there is no harm in hunting, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to a boy who had a bird with him that he was playing with:
Abu ‘Umair! What has happened to the little sparrow?يا أبا عمير ما فعل النغير
Sunan Abi Dawud 4969Sahih (Al-Albani)
? That is, the bird’s name was al-Naghīr, which indicates that it is permissible to catch game in the Sacred Precinct. Yes.
