Sahih Muslim 1199a (Book 15, Hadith 78) #10013
Killing Certain Animals in Ka'ba and Ihram

SUMMARY: Killing certain animals in the precincts of the Ka'ba or in the state of Ihram does not incur any sin.

Salim reported on the authority of his father (Allah be pleased with them) that the Messenger of Allah said: Five are the (beasts) which if one kills them in the precincts of the Ka'ba or in the state of Ihram entail no sin: rat, scorpion, crow, kite and voracious dog. In another version the words are:" as a Muhrim and in the state of Ihram".
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 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
