Narrated Aisha: 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".
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also taught us that we should be kind and compassionate towards all living things even if they are small or insignificant. He said “Whoever is kind to the creatures of God is kind to himself” [Sahih Muslim]. This means that by being kind towards other creatures we can gain rewards from Allah and become closer to Him.
We must also remember that it is our responsibility as Muslims to protect the environment around us so that future generations can enjoy its beauty too. We must strive for balance between human needs and nature’s needs so both can coexist peacefully without harming each other’s rights or interests.
