Is it permissible to slaughter game brought into Makkah from outside?

The questioner : The questioner asks: Is it permissible to slaughter game brought in alive from outside Makkah while in Makkah?

The Shaykh : That is, if a person has game with him that he brought from the permitted area (haram) into Makkah, is it permissible for him to slaughter it and eat it? What do you say? It is permissible. Yes. Yes. No, it is not permissible.
There are two opinions among the scholars: one opinion holds that it is permissible, and the other holds that it is not permissible. This is the reality of the matter. Some scholars said that if you bring game into Makkah, meaning into the sacred precinct (Haram), you are obligated to release it, and it is not permissible for you to slaughter it, because it has entered its place of safety. What is the place of safety? The Haram. And whoever enters it is safe, so do not kill it. What should I do? He said: Do not even keep it at your leisure; release it and let it go. And if you find it one day in the future, it is yours. Yes. And some scholars said: Rather, you may slaughter it, because it is your property. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) only said regarding the Haram that its game is not to be killed. Its game, its game, its game. Here, "its" is attributed to what? To the Haram. And this is not the game of the Haram; this is game from the permitted area, and it did not enter the Haram except as the property of the person. And this opinion is the stronger one: that if a person hunts game in the permitted area and then enters the Haram with it, it is his property, and he may dispose of it as he wishes: he may slaughter it and eat it, or give it as a gift, or dispose of it however he wishes.
