Chapter: (What kind of) animals can be killed by a Muhrim

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "It is not sinful of a Muhrim to kill five kinds of animals."

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A Muhrim can kill (five kinds of animals.)"

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "It is not sinful (of a Muhrim) to kill five kinds of animals, namely: the crow, the kite, the mouse, the scorpion and the rabid dog."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Five kinds of animals are harmful and could be killed in the Haram (Sanctuary). These are: the crow, the kite, the scorpion, the mouse and the rabid dog."

While we were in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) in a cave at Mina, when Surat-wal-Mursalat were revealed and he recited it and I heard it (directly) from his mouth as soon as he recited its revelation. Suddenly a snake sprang at us and the Prophet (ﷺ) said (ordered us): "Kill it." We ran to kill it but it escaped quickly. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It has escaped your evil and you too have escaped its evil."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) called the salamander a bad animal, but I did not hear him ordering it to be killed."
