• the scorpion,<br />

• the mouse and<br />

• the rabid dog.<br />

Ibn Umar narrated that the Messenger <strong>of</strong> <strong>Al</strong>lah said,<br />

خَمْسٌ‏ مِنَ‏ الد َّوَاب ِّ لَيْسَ‏ عَلَى الْمُحْرِمِ‏ فِي قَتْلِهِن َّ جُنَاحٌ‏ :<br />

الْغُرَابُ،‏<br />

وَالْحِدَأَةُ،‏<br />

وَالْعَقْرَبُ،‏<br />

وَالْفَأْرَةُ،‏<br />

وَالْكَلْبُ‏ الْعَقُور<br />

<strong>It</strong> is not harmful in a state <strong>of</strong> Ihram <strong>to</strong> kill five<br />

kinds <strong>of</strong> animals:<br />

• the crow,<br />

• the kite,<br />

• the scorpion,<br />

• the mouse and<br />

• the rabid dog.<br />

This Hadith <strong>was</strong> recorded in the Two Sahihs.<br />

Ayub narrated that Nafi` narrated similar<br />

wordings for this Hadith from Ibn Umar.<br />

Ayub said, "So I said <strong>to</strong> Nafi, `What about the<br />

snake'<br />

He said, `<strong>The</strong>re is no doubt that killing the snake<br />

is allowed.'''<br />

<strong>The</strong> ruling concerning the rabid dog also includes<br />

the wolf, lion, leopard, tiger and their like, since<br />

they are more dangerous than the rabid dog, or<br />

because the term Kalb (dog) covers them. <strong>Al</strong>lah<br />

knows best.<br />
