The prohibition here applies to the whole business of hunting. When one enters into the state of consecration as one starts pilgimage or Umrah, one turns to Allah with one s whole being, turning his back to familiar life practices which are a source of entertainment and pleasure. He finds himself in the Sacred House which Allah has endowed with a feeling of security which applies to all those who enter it. Hence, it is necessary that when we are there, we do not stretch our hands to kill any living thing. Thus man experiences in this period a necessary feeling which enhances the bond of life between all living things created by Allah, the giver of life.
All creatures are thus safe from aggression.
The necessities of life, for which game and hunting has been allowed for eating, are thus reduced in order to impart to man a sense of elevation above what is familiar to him in ordinary days. Before proceeding to add more details of what has been excepted from the initial ruling of general permission, this contract is linked to the overall contract of faith. His will is absolute and He gives His commandments as He wishes, No one may have a say in what He decrees and no one can abrogate or overrule His judgement. The first thing that springs to mind regarding the meaning of the rites of Allah is that it is a reference to the rites of pilgrimage and Umrah, and the restrictions that apply to everyone who enters into the state of consecration when he starts his pilgrimage or Umrah and remain in force until the main part of the pilgrimage is over when animals intended for sacrifice are slaughtered. During the state of consecration, a pilgrim does not violate these restrictions, because such an offence represents a desecration of the sanctity imparted to them by Allah.
