Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question about the story of Abu Qatadah when he hunted a gazelle, while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Companions were in the state of ihram. Was Abu Qatadah in the state of ihram? Is it forbidden for a person in the state of ihram to kill game?

Answer:
No, Abu Qatadah was not in the state of ihram. It seems he did not intend to perform any rites of worship, nor did he intend to perform 'Umrah. Yes.
