Is it permissible for a person in ihram to hunt a domesticated animal whose meat is edible if it has escaped and lived in the wild, and is a fidyah required for it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: If a domesticated animal whose meat is edible escapes and lives in the wild, becomes wild, and a person in ihram hunts it, is there a fidyah for that?

Answer:
No, the criterion is its origin. Its origin is that it is domesticated, not wild. Likewise, if a wild animal becomes domesticated, the criterion is its origin. So it is game, and a fidyah is required for it. Yes.
