O you who heed warning: kill no game when you are forbidden; and whoso of you kills it intentionally: the payment is the like of what he killed from grazing livestock. Let judge it two just men from among you by an offering reaching the kaʿba, or expiation: feeding needy persons or the equivalent of that in fasting, that he might taste the evil consequence of his deed. God has pardoned what is past; but whoso returns, God will take vengeance on him; and God is exalted in might and vengeful.
