According to search-discovered classical Islamic scholarship, the prohibition of hunting (Hurmat as-Sayd) is a significant divine ruling applicable to pilgrims in the state of Ihram and within the sacred precincts (Haram). Based on Surah Al-Ma'idah, verses 1, 94, and 95, this prohibition is not merely about wildlife preservation but serves as a profound spiritual test. Ibn Kathir's tafsir explains that this rule was revealed as a trial to see which believers would obey Allah's command even in the unseen, when game was plentiful and easy to catch. Al-Qurtubi's analysis focuses on the juridical aspects, detailing the expiation (Kaffarah) required for violations, which includes offering an equivalent domestic animal, feeding the poor, or fasting, as determined by two just witnesses. This synthesis of Quranic command and scholarly interpretation establishes the prohibition as a core practice of sanctification, fostering a state of peace and absolute devotion during the sacred rites of Hajj and Umrah.
