What are the consequences for a pilgrim in the state of ihram who intentionally kills game, and how is the recompense practically estimated, whether by feeding or by fasting?

The majority of scholars hold the view that if a pilgrim in a state of ihram (definition) kills game, compensation is obligatory, whether done intentionally, by mistake, or out of forgetfulness. However, sin is incurred only in the case of intentional killing. The pilgrim in ihram has the choice between slaughtering an animal from livestock that is equivalent to the game (if an equivalent exists), or estimating its value in dirhams to buy food sufficient for Zakat (definition) al-Fitr (one mudd for each needy person), or fasting one day for each mudd. The game referred to is wild, land-dwelling, edible-meat animals, based on the Almighty's saying: "O you who have believed, do not kill game while you are in ihram. And whoever among you kills it intentionally - the compensation is an equivalent of what he killed among the livestock." Compensation becomes obligatory upon killing game that meets three conditions: it must be permissible to eat, it must not be owned by anyone, and it must be wild (not domesticated).
