prohibitions of Ihram for which the required compensation does not increase with their repetition, nor is it measured by their quantity. As for that which is measured by its quantity—which is the destruction of game—then for each one of them, there is its own penalty, regardless of whether it was done all at once or separately, and there is no overlap (tadakhul) in it. Performing the prohibited acts separately is like performing them together regarding the Fidyah, as long as one has not performed the expiation for the first before committing the second. It is narrated from Ahmad that if one repeats it for different reasons, such as if he wore [garments] for cold, then wore [them] for heat, then wore [them] for illness, then there are [multiple] expiations. But if it was for one reason, then it is a single expiation. Al-Athram narrated from him regarding someone who wore a shirt, a jubba, and a turban, and other such things, for one excuse, [that it is a single expiation]. I asked him: "What if he had an ailment and wore a jubba, then recovered, then had an ailment and wore a jubba?" He said: "This person now owes two expiations." There is a report from al-Shafi'i that is similar to ours, and another that there is no overlap. Malik said: "There is overlap for the expiation of sexual intercourse, but not for others." Abu Hanifah said: "If he repeats it in one sitting, it is a single expiation, but if it is in multiple sittings, then there are multiple expiations, because the ruling of a single sitting is the ruling of a single act, unlike other cases." Our position is that what overlaps if done one after another must also overlap if done separately, like [prescribed] punishments (hudud) and the expiations for oaths. Also, because Allah the Almighty mandated one Fidyah for shaving the head and did not distinguish between what occurred in one instance or in multiple instances. The argument that there is no overlap is incorrect, for when one shaves his head, it is impossible to do so except one bit after another.
Section: As for the penalty for game, it does not overlap, and the penalty is required for every piece of game, whether it happened separately or at one time. There is a report from Ahmad that it does overlap, by analogy to the rest of the prohibitions. This is incorrect, because Allah the Almighty said: "...then the penalty is an equivalent of what he killed of the livestock." The equivalent of two pieces of game cannot be the equivalent of one of them. Furthermore, if he were to kill two pieces of game at once
