But they can endure the hot summer with heat waves, walking and staying on hot sands and the blowing of hot wind. They spend the first and the second half of a day and they leave their homes, families and remain restless out of their homes for many days! Do they go angling for the sake of food? (i.e., not at all) But in fact for the same, i.e., for the game, which is unanimously Ḥarām – identification of such anglers can be ascertained, e.g. ask them to buy fish from the fish market. They will never listen to it. Or if you offer them fish from your side, they will never accept it. They are not even interested in eating their catch; but they prefer to give it away. So their fishing is for recreational purpose and therefore Ḥarām. (Fatāwā Razawiyyaĥ, vol. 20, pp. 341)
Ṣadr-ush-Sharī’aĥ, Badr-uṭ-Ṭarīqaĥ, ‘Allāmaĥ Maulānā Muftī Muhammad Amjad ‘Alī A’ẓamī عَـلَيْهِ رَحۡـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَوِی has said, ‘Hunting is a permissible act, but it is Ḥarām to hunt land animals within the specified area of the Ḥaram or whilst one is in the state of Iḥrām[1]. Similarly, if hunting is only for fun (i.e., as a sport), then it is not permissible.’
(Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, vol. 3, pp. 680)
