Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on hunting land animals for a person in ihram if he is ignorant?
Answer:
Even if he is ignorant, the one who is ignorant does not have the liability dropped from him. If you destroy something of people's wealth, the liability is not dropped from you just because you say, "I was ignorant." The liability for destruction does not require that one be knowledgeable. A person is liable for destruction, even a small child and even a madman, if he destroys something of wealth, because in these matters, intellect and [capacity] are not looked at. So if he hunts while he is in ihram, he is liable for the game, even if he is ignorant. Yes.
