Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: It was reported regarding what a person in ihram must avoid that there is a hadith stating that hunting in Waj is forbidden, and it is a valley in al-Ta'if outside the miqat boundaries. His question is: Is it disliked or forbidden? Or is this hadith not authentic?
Answer:
The correct view is that it is not a sacred precinct, and there is no harm in hunting in it; it does not carry the rulings of the forbidden. Yes.
