What is the ruling regarding the penalty when a legally restrained (Muhram) person and a non-restrained person (Halal) or a wild animal participate in hunting?
Chapter on Ransom (Fidyah) and Penalty for Hunting
Al-Mughni
Book of Hajj
Primary text
If a partner in hunting is a non-restrained person (Halal) or a wild animal, nothing is incumbent upon the non-restrained person or animal, and the ruling applies only to the legally restrained person (Muhram). If the non-restrained party inflicts the wound first, the Muhram owes the penalty for the already wounded game. If the Muhram inflicts the wound first, he owes the penalty for his wound, as previously stated.

If both partners inflict wounds simultaneously, there are two viewpoints. One is that the Muhram owes a proportional share, similar to if both partners were restrained, because he only caused partial harm. The second view is that the entire penalty is due from the Muhram because imposing the penalty on his partner is impossible, making it analogous to situations where one participant is a guide and the other the actual killer, or one restrains and the other kills; in these cases, the entire penalty falls upon the Muhram because penalty cannot be imposed on the other party.
