I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a man who hunted an animal in the Ḥill (permissible area) while heading towards the Haram, in the area between the post station and the mosque. He struck it in the Ḥill, but the hunted animal moved towards the Haram and died there. I asked if he would be liable for a penalty. Imam (as) replied: "There is no penalty upon him. The example of this is like a person who sets a trap in the Ḥill, near the boundary of the Haram, and an animal falls into the trap and struggles until it enters the Haram and dies there. He is not liable for the penalty because the trap was set in a permissible place, and similarly, he hunted in a permissible area. Therefore, he is not accountable for what happens afterward." I said: "This resembles analogy (qiyas) according to the people." Imam (as) replied: "I only drew a parallel between things so that you may understand."
