The list of hadiths on Ransom and Hunting Expiation

Authentic hadith A person in a state of Ihrām eating from a game that was not hunted for him, nor did he assist in hunting it Authentic hadith I was carried to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and lice were falling on my face. He said: I never thought your ailment has reached such an extent. Can you afford a sheep (as a ransom for shaving your head)? I replied: No. He then said: Fast three days, or feed six poor people.
