846. Jābir bin 'Abdullāh narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The land game is lawful for you while you are in Ihram as long as you did not hunt it – or – it was not hunted for you." (Da'if)
(He said:) There are narrations on this topic from Abū Qatādah and Talhah.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Jābir is an explanatory Hadīth, and
we do not know of Al-Muṭṭalib (one of the narrators) hearing from Jābir. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge, they did not see any harm in the Muḥrim eating game when he did not hunt it or have someone hunt it for him. Ash-Shāfi'ī said: "This is the best Hadīth reported on this topic and the most appropriate, and it is this that is to be acted upon." And this is the view of Aḥmad and Ishāq.

Commentary
In Sūrat Al-Mā'idah, Allāh prohibits a Muḥrim from hunting animals. If a Muḥrim helps anyone in hunting, even if he points towards the game, he is not allowed to eat of that meat.
