TO RESPECT THE PILGRIMS
You who believe! Do not profane the sacred rites of Allah or the
sacred months, or the sacrificial animals, or the ritual garlands, or
those heading for the Sacred House, desiring profit and good
pleasure from their Lord. When you have come out of pilgrim
dress, then you may hunt. Do not let hatred for a people who debar
you from the Masjid al-Haram incite you into going beyond the
limits. Help each other to goodness and heedfulness. Do not help
each other to wrongdoing and enmity. Have fear of Allah. Allah
is severe in retribution. (Qur'an, 5:2)

NOT TO HUNT IN IHRAM
(WHILE ON THE PILGRIMAGE)
You who believe! Fulfil your contracts. All livestock animals are
lawful for you, except those that are recited to you now; but it is
still not lawful to hunt while you are in pilgrim dress. Allah makes
whatever judgements He wills. You who believe! Do not profane
the sacred rites of Allah or the sacred months, or the sacrificial
animals, or the ritual garlands, or those heading for the Sacred
House, desiring profit and good pleasure from their Lord. When
you have come out of pilgrim dress, then you may hunt. Do not
let hatred for a people who debar you from the Masjid al-Haram
incite you into going beyond the limits. Help each other to
goodness and heedfulness. Do not help each other to wrongdoing
and enmity. Have fear of Allah. Allah is severe in retribution.
(Qur'an, 5:1-2)
Anything you catch in the sea is lawful for you, and all food from
it, for your enjoyment and that of travellers, but land game is
forbidden for you while you are in pilgrim dress. So have fear of
Allah, Him to Whom you will be gathered. (Qur'an, 5:96)
