Hadith 34719
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that a man
came to Umar ibn al-Khattab and said, "Amir al-muminin, I killed some
locusts with my whip when I was in ihram," and Umar said to him, "Give
a handful of food."
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 247
← Previous Hadith
Malik said, I still hear that when a person in ihram kills an
ostrich, a camel is due."
Malik said, "I think that for an
ostrich egg, one tenth of the price of a camel is due in the same way
that there is a newly-born male or female slave for the unborn child
of a free woman. The value of the newly-born slave is fifty dinars,
and that is one-tenth of what the blood-money for the mother would be.
"Birds from the eagle family, eagles or falcons or vultures
count as game for which a price is paid just as a price is paid for
any game which a person in ihram kills. For everything for which a
penalty is paid, the assessment is the same, whether the animal is old
or young. The analogy of that is that the blood-money for the young
and the old freeman, are considered to be the same." Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 246

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that a man
came to Umar ibn al-Khattab and asked him about some locusts he had
killed while he was in ihram. Umar said to Kab, "Come, let's decide."
Kab said, "A dirham," and Umar said to Kab, "You can find dirhams. A
date is better than a locust." Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 248
