If a pilgrim kills edible, wild, land-based game—even if the animal is the offspring of such game and another species¹—or if it perishes while in his custody, he is liable for its prescribed compensation. The prohibition does not extend to domesticated animals², to sea game, to creatures whose flesh is already unlawful to eat³, or to beasts that attack.
Concluding a marriage contract while in ihram is forbidden and void, and no fidyah is required; the husband’s revocation⁴ of a revocable divorce, however, remains valid.
Should a pilgrim have intercourse before the first release from ihram, the pilgrimage of both spouses is invalidated; they must nevertheless complete it and repeat the rite the following year. All physical intimacy is likewise prohibited; if one engages in it and ejaculates, the Hajj is not nullified, but a camel must be sacrificed. However, he must re-enter ihram from outside the sanctuary for the obligatory ṭawāf.
