Hadith record

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad al-Halabiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, ‘Whoever enters it (al-Haram, the sacred area) gains immunity.(3:96) He (the Imam) said, ‘If a servant (of Allah) commits a crime outside al-Haram (the sacred area) then flees to al- Haram, no one can arrest him inside al-Haram; however, he can be stopped from entering the market place, to buy or sell; he is not fed, provided drink or spoken to. If this is done, he eventually leaves; then he can be arrested. If one commits a crime inside al-Haram, he is brought to justice inside al- Haram; he has violated the sanctity of al-Haram.’”
