3090. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbās said: "Sa'b bin Jaththāmah told us: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ passed by me when I was in Abwā' or Waddān, and I gave him some meat of a wild donkey, but he gave it back to me, and when he saw from my face that I was upset, he said: 'The only reason that we are giving it back is that we are in Iḥrām.'" (Sahih)

Commentary
An onager is a wild animal; it is like a donkey, so in Arabic it is called wild donkey. It is a lawful animal.
If one is compelled to behave with someone in a manner that may hurt his feelings, then he has to comfort him when clarifying the reality.
One in Iḥrām cannot eat the meat of game that is hunted for him.
There is no harm for one in Iḥrām to eat the meat of a domesticated animal.
