Q2: Is there any special status for the hunting grounds of Makkah and al-Madinah ?
A2: There is no special status for the hunting grounds of Makkah or the hunting grounds of al-Madinah , except that hunting is not permitted and game is not to be driven out as long as one is within the boundaries of the Haram; due to the generality of the hadith:Sahih al-Bukhari 1833 , the hadith was narrated by al-Bukhari, and his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Sahih Muslim 1362 , narrated by Muslim . And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

A2: There is no special status for the hunting grounds of Makkah or the hunting grounds of al-Madinah , except that hunting is not permitted and game is not to be driven out as long as one is within the boundaries of the Haram; due to the generality of the hadith:
Allah has made Mecca, a sanctuary, so it was a sanctuary before me and will continue to be a sanctuary after me. It was made legal for me (i.e. I was allowed to fight in it) for a few hours of a day. It is not allowed to uproot its shrubs or to cut its trees, or to chase (or disturb) its game
إن الله حرم مكة، فلم تحل لأحد قبلي، ولا تحل لأحد بعدي، وإنما أحلت لي ساعة من نهار، لا يختلى خلاها، ولا يعضد شجرها، ولا ينفر صيدهاIbrahim declared Mecca as sacred; I declare Medina, that between the two mountains, as inviolable. No tree should be lopped and no game is to be molested.
إن إبراهيم حرم مكة، وإني حرمت المدينة ما بين لابتيها، لا يقطع عضاهها، ولا يصاد صيدها
