The ruling on hunting while in the state of ihram and in the sacred precinct

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is hunting forbidden, as is the case in the saying of Allah the Exalted:
but forbidden to you is game from the land as long as you are in the state of ihramوَحُرِّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ صَيْدُ الْبَرِّ مَا دُمْتُمْ حُرُمًا
[Al-Ma'idah 5:96]
?

Answer:
Hunting is permissible; land hunting and sea hunting are all permissible. So when you come out of the state of ihram, meaning when you exit the state of ihram, then hunt; they were permitted to do so. Only the one in the state of ihram is prevented from hunting, and likewise hunting in the sacred precinct is not permissible; one may not hunt as long as he is in the sacred precinct, in the sacred precinct and in the state of ihram. And other than that, Allah has made hunting permissible. So when you come out of the state of ihram, then hunt; the sea game and its food are made lawful for you. Meaning, the sea is a provision for you, and its food—meaning what dies in it of fish and sea creatures—is made lawful for you. The sea game and its food are a provision for you and for the caravans, meaning the caravans that travel in the sea.
but forbidden to you is game from the land as long as you are in the state of ihramوَحُرِّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ صَيْدُ الْبَرِّ مَا دُمْتُمْ حُرُمًا
[Al-Ma'idah 5:96]
Meaning, while in the state of ihram. So the one in the state of ihram is not permitted to hunt, nor is he permitted to assist in land hunting as long as he is in the state of ihram, nor to point to it. Yes.
