حَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، - رضى الله عنهما - قَالَ قَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ زَوْجُ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ خَمْسٌ مِنَ الدَّوَابِّ كُلُّهَا فَاسِقٌ لاَ حَرَجَ عَلَى مَنْ قَتَلَهُنَّ الْعَقْرَبُ وَالْغُرَابُ وَالْحِدَأَةُ وَالْفَارَةُ وَالْكَلْبُ الْعَقُورُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that there are five animals which are considered vicious and harmful, and it is permissible to kill them. These animals include scorpions, crows, kites, rats and voracious dogs. It is important to note that this permission only applies when these animals pose a threat or danger to humans or their property. Otherwise, it is not allowed to kill any animal without a valid reason as per Islamic teachings.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us the importance of being kind and compassionate towards all living creatures including animals. He also taught us that we should not cause harm or pain unnecessarily even if it’s an animal we consider dangerous or harmful. We should only take action when necessary for our safety or protection from harm caused by these creatures.
