Sahih Muslim 1199a
وَحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، - رضى الله عنه - عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " خَمْسٌ لاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَى مَنْ قَتَلَهُنَّ فِي الْحَرَمِ وَالإِحْرَامِ الْفَارَةُ وَالْعَقْرَبُ وَالْغُرَابُ وَالْحِدَأَةُ وَالْكَلْبُ الْعَقُورُ " . وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ " فِي الْحُرُمِ وَالإِحْرَامِ " .
Zuhayr ibn Harb and Ibn Abi Umar narrated to me, both from Ibn Uyayna. Zuhayr said: Sufyan ibn Uyayna narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from Salim, from his father (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (ﷺ), who said: ‘There are five for which no blame is incurred by whoever kills them in the sanctuary and while in ihram: the rat, the scorpion, the crow, the kite, and the vicious dog.’ Ibn Abi Umar's version says: ‘in al-hurum and while in ihram.’
Translation notes
The final variant is left transliterated because الحرم is changed to الحرم/الحرُم wording in this report and its intended distinction is unclear from the text alone.
فِي الْحُرُمِ وَالإِحْرَامِ
The variant uses al-hurum, not al-haram, but does not clarify whether it means sacred precincts, sacred months, or another scope.
What does al-hurum denote in this variant, and should the distinction be preserved in English?
