Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A person ran over a pigeon within the boundaries of the Haram, and he was not in a state of ihram. Does he owe anything?

Answer:
Yes, killing game in the Haram is forbidden for the one in a state of ihram and for the one who is not, and there is liability for compensation. The compensation for a pigeon is a sheep.
