I have already hunted during these four Sacred Inviolable Months. Please advise, may Allah reward you with the best! A: There is nothing wrong in hunting land games during Rajab, Dhul-Qa‘dah, Dhul-Hijjah, and Muharram, because although they are Sacred Inviolable Months, the prohibition of hunting land game during them has been abrogated. Furthermore, Ramadan is not a Sacred Inviolable Month.May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions!
