Hunting
in Ramadhaan
*Please appropriately
reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: On one of the mornings of Ramadhaan
I went to the mountain where there were some game (animals).
So I got hold of my rifle and shot some game to eat after
breaking the fast. Is there any sin upon me or expiation for
having done this (shooting these game). And is hunting game
impermissible in the month of Ramadhaan? And what should I
do if there is anything required of me?
Response:
One who kills game whilst fasting, then this does not affect
his fast, so your fast is correct and there is no need for
you to make it up, and there is no problem in hunting in Ramadhaan.
And
with Allaah lies all the success, and may Allaah send prayers
and salutations upon our Prophet Muhammad (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam)
and his family and his companions.
