Hunting / Violating is forbidden
at the Holy Ka’ba: [57]
[5:2] O ye who believe! Violate not the
sanctity of the Symbols of God, nor of the sacred month, nor of the animals
brought for sacrifice, nor the garlands that mark out such animals, nor the
people resorting to the sacred house, seeking of the bounty and good pleasure
of their Lord. But when ye are clear of the sacred precincts and of pilgrim
garb, ye may hunt and let not the hatred of some people in (once) shutting you
out of the Sacred Mosque lead you to transgression (and hostility on your
part). Help ye one another in righteousness and piety, but help ye not one
another in sin and rancour: Fear God: For God is Strict in Punishment.
--------------------
[5:94] O ye who believe! God doth but make a trial of you in a little
matter of game well within reach of game well within reach of your hands and
your lances, that He may test who feareth Him unseen: Any who transgress
thereafter, will have a grievous penalty.
[5:95] O ye who believe! Kill not game
while in the sacred precincts or in pilgrim garb. If any of you doth so
intentionally, the compensation is an offering, brought to the Ka'ba, of a
domestic animal equivalent to the one he killed, as adjudged by two just men
among you; or by way of atonement, the feeding of the indigent; or its
equivalent in fasts: That he may taste of the penalty of his deed. God forgives
what is past: For repetition God will exact from him the penalty. For God is
Exalted, and Lord of Retribution.
[5:96] Lawful to you is the pursuit of
water-game and its use for food,- for the benefit of yourselves and those who
travel; but forbidden is the pursuit of land-game;- as long as ye are in the
sacred precincts or in pilgrim garb. And fear God, to Whom ye shall be gathered
back.
[5:97] God made the Ka'ba, the Sacred
House, an asylum of security for men, as also the Sacred Months, the animals
for offerings, and the garlands that mark them: That ye may know that God hath
knowledge of what is in the heavens and on earth and that God is
Well-Acquainted with all things.
[5:98] Know ye that God is strict in
punishment and that God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
