What form does the liability take when one eats game killed unlawfully?
Chapter on What the Muhrim Must Avoid and What is Permissible for Him
Al-Mughni
Book of Hajj
Primary text
The liability incurred must be fulfilled by providing its equivalent in meat, because the original item (the live game) is guaranteed by its equivalent among livestock. Therefore, its parts (the consumed meat) are likewise guaranteed by their equivalent. This is contrasted with the destruction of human life or body parts, which are guaranteed by their monetary value.
