كُلُّ شَيْءٍ يَكُونُ أَصْلُهُ فِي الْبَحْرِ وَ يَكُونُ فِي الْبَرِّ وَ الْبَحْرِ فَلَا يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُحْرِمِ أَنْ يَقْتُلَهُ فَإِنْ قَتَلَهُ فَعَلَيْهِ الْجَزَاءُ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Everything that originates from the sea but is found on land and in the sea, should not be killed by those who are in the state of Ihram. If they kill such animals, they owe penalty as Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has said.’”
سَأَلْتُهُ مِنْ مُحْرِمٍ قَتَلَ جَرَادَةً قَالَ كَفٌّ مِنْ طَعَامٍ وَ إِنْ كَانَ كَثِيراً فَعَلَيْهِ دَمُ شَاةٍ.
“I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about a man who is in the state of Ihram and kills a locust. He (the Imam) said, ‘He owes one handful of food, but if they are many then he owes one sheep.’”
يُطْعِمُ تَمْرَةً وَ التَّمْرَةُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ جَرَادَةٍ.
“About a man who kills a locust while in the state of Ihram, abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘He must feed a date (to a destitute person), even though a date is better than a locust.’”
اعْلَمْ أَنَّ مَا وَطِئْتَ مِنَ الدَّبَا[3] أَوْ وَطِئَتْهُ بَعِيرُكَ فَعَلَيْكَ فِدَاؤُهُ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘You must take notice that whatever moving things you or your camel may step on, you owe ransom therefore.’”
مَرَّ عَلِيٌّ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ عَلَى قَوْمٍ يَأْكُلُونَ جَرَاداً فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ أَنْتُمْ مُحْرِمُونَ- فَقَالُوا إِنَّمَا هُوَ مِنْ صَيْدِ الْبَحْرِ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ ارْمُوهُ فِي الْمَاءِ إِذاً.
“Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said that once Ali (a.s.), passed by a people who were eating locusts. He said Tasbih (Allah is free of all defects) and you are in the state of Ihram! They said, ‘It is of the object of hunting from the sea.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If that is the case, then throw them in the sea.’”
الْمُحْرِمُ يَتَنَكَّبُ الْجَرَادَ[5] إِذَا كَانَ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ بُدّاً فَقَتَلَ فَلَا شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِ.
‘A person in the state of Ihram should avoid locusts, if they are on the road but if it is not avoidable and they get killed, then there is nothing on him.’”
سَأَلْتُهُ[1] عَنِ الْجَرَادِ يَدْخُلُ مَتَاعَ الْقَوْمِ فَيَدُوسُونَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ تَعَمُّدٍ لِقَتْلِهِ أَوْ يَمُرُّونَ بِهِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ فَيَطَئُونَهُ قَالَ إِنْ وَجَدْتَ مَعْدِلًا فَاعْدِلْ عَنْهُ فَإِنْ قَتَلْتَهُ غَيْرَ مُتَعَمِّدٍ فَلَا بَأْسَ.
“I once asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), about locusts which get into the people’s goods and they unintentionally trample upon them or when passing on the road; step on them. He (the Imam) said, ‘If you can, avoid it but if you kill it unintentionally, then there is nothing on you.”’
لَا يَأْكُلِ الْمُحْرِمُ طَيْرَ الْمَاءِ[2].
“One of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said, ‘One in the state of Ihram, must not eat sea birds.’”
