What is the ruling on going out for hunting during legally prohibited times?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The apparent ruling is that hunting is prohibited during times when the state has forbidden it, provided that the prohibition is for the common good. The state has the authority to restrict certain permissible acts in consideration of societal interests and to prevent what harms them. Foremost among these considerations is the care for the community's religion and morals. Therefore, it is obligatory to strive to establish the community upon religion and prevent everything that harms it.
