The Test of Allah for the Companions During Their State of Ihram by Making Hunting Easy for Them

The Shaykh : I tell you, may Allah reward you, the Companions were in a state of ihram with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and Allah tested them. Is it permissible for a person in ihram to hunt? There is no god but Allah. Hunting is permissible, my brothers. If he sees a hare or a gazelle while in ihram, is it permissible for him to hunt it? Is it not lawful? The gazelle is lawful, and what about the hare? Well, it is not permissible for a person in ihram to hunt this game. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, tested them. He tested the Companions by sending the game to them, and He, the Exalted, said: You may catch it with your hands and with your spears. A flying spear is usually a dart, while a thrusting spear is a spear. And now, how is it caught? With the hand. Is this making it easy or not? It is making it easy, but it is a test. He made the sin easy for them so that He, the Exalted, might see whether they fear Allah or not? ? I have finished. . Look, this nation, and praise be to Allah, is a believing and certain nation.
