LessonsBook of Hajj: Restrictions and Permitted Acts in IhramQuiz

وَلَا يَقْتُلْ صَيْدًا، وَلَا يُشِرْ إِلَيْهِ، وَلَا يَدُلَّ عَلَيْهِ.
Translation: The pilgrim must not kill game, point it out, or direct someone to it.

Ṣayd here means game covered by the iḥrām restrictions, particularly wild land game. The passage prohibits not only directly killing it but also pointing it out or guiding a hunter toward it.

It does not mean that slaughtering ordinary domestic livestock or dealing with dangerous creatures must always be treated like unlawful hunting; separate rulings apply.
