hunting-slaughter
2372 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ اَلْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ فَرْخَيْنِ مُسَرْوَلَيْنِ ذَبَحْتُهُمَا وَ أَنَا بِمَكَّةَ فَقَالَ لِي «لِمَ ذَبَحْتَهُمَا» فَقُلْتُ جَاءَتْنِي بِهِمَا جَارِيَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ فَسَأَلَتْنِي أَنْ أَذْبَحَهُمَا فَظَنَنْتُ أَنِّي بِالْكُوفَةِ وَ لَمْ أَذْكُرِ اَلْحَرَمَ قَالَ «تَصَدَّقْ بِقِيمَتِهِمَا» قُلْتُ كَمْ قَالَ «دِرْهَماً وَ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُمَا».
Hadith.2372 - Abdul Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj narrated: "I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about two young birds dressed in feathers that I slaughtered while I was in Mecca. Imam (as) said to me: 'Why did you slaughter them?' I replied: 'A girl from the people of Mecca brought them to me and asked me to slaughter them, and I thought I was in Kufa and did not recall the sanctity of the Haram.' Imam (as) said: 'Give charity equivalent to their value.' I asked: 'How much?' Imam (as) said: 'A dirham, which is better than them.'"
