Kill only certain types of dangerous snakes if necessary in order to protect oneself or one's family from harm . Kill gecko if it tries to extinguish fire used for Ihram rituals .

This hadith is about the importance of not killing harmless animals, such as snakes. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that we should only kill two types of snakes; those with two lines on their back and those with a short tail. These are dangerous because they can snatch away eyesight or cause miscarriages in pregnant women. On the other hand, he also taught us to kill geckos because they try to extinguish fires used for Ihram rituals. This hadith teaches us that we should be careful when it comes to taking life away from any living creature, but at the same time it also teaches us that there are some creatures which can be harmful and therefore must be eliminated in order to protect ourselves and our families from harm.
