Kill certain animals when necessary for self-protection or environmental safety.

This hadith explains that it is permissible to kill certain animals, such as snakes, speckled crows, mice, vicious dogs and kites even if one is inside or outside of the sacred precincts. This means that these animals can be killed regardless of whether one is in a holy place or not. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us this so that we can protect ourselves from harm and danger caused by these creatures. He also wanted us to be mindful of our environment and take care of it by eliminating any potential threats posed by these animals.
