Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws, said, ‘I asked him^asws about the one in <span class="iTxt">Ihraam</span> hunting an ostrich or a wild donkey. He^asws said: ‘Upon him is a sacrificial animal’. I said, ‘Supposing he is not able upon an animal?’ He^asws said: ‘So let him feed sixty poor ones’. I said, ‘Supposing he is not able upon giving charity?’ He^asws said: ‘So let him Fast eighteen days, and give in charity with one <span class="iTxt">Mudd</span> (approximately 750 gms of food) upon a poor one each day’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him^asws about the one in <span class="iTxt">Ihraam</span> killing a cow. He^asws said: ‘Upon him is a cow (as a sacrifice)’. I said, ‘Supposing he is not able upon a cow?’ He^asws said: ‘So let him feed thirty poor ones’. I said, ‘Supposing he is not able upon giving charity?’ He^asws said: ‘So let him Fast nine days’. I said, ‘Supposing he kills an antelope?’ He^asws said: ‘Upon him is a sheep’. I said, ‘Supposing he is not able?’ He^asws said: ‘So he should feed ten poor ones. So, if he is not able upon what he should be giving in charity with, so upon him would be the Fasts of three days’.
