693 This was also an idolatrous rite, different from that in which a sacrifice was devoted to a particular idol or a false god.
(5.3)
6:38 – There is not an animal (that lives) on the earth nor a being that flies on its wings but (forms
part of) communities like you. Nothing have We omitted from the Book and they (all) shall be
gathered to their Lord in the end. 859
859 "Animals living on the earth" include those living in the water, - fishes, reptiles, crustaceans, insects, as well as fourfooted
beasts. Life on the wing is separately mentioned. "Tair," which is ordinarily translated as "bird," is anything that
flies, including mammals like bats. In our pride we may exclude animals from our purview, but they all live a life, social
and individual, like ourselves, and all life is subject to the Plan and the Will of God. In vi. 59 we are told that not a leaf
falls but by His Will, and things dry and green are recorded in His Book. In other words they all obey His archetypal
Plan, the Book which is also mentioned here. They are all answerable in their several degrees to His Plan ("shall be
gathered to their Lord in the end"). This is not Pantheism: it is ascribing all life, activity, and existence to the Will and
Plan of God. (6.38)
22:34 - To every people did We appoint rites (of sacrifice) that they might celebrate the name of
Allah over the sustenance He gave them from animals (fit for food) but your Allah is one Allah:
submit then your wills to Him (in Islam) and give thou the Good News to those who humble
themselves 28102811
2810 This is the true end of sacrifice, not propitiation of higher powers, for Allah is One, and He does not delight in flesh or
blood (xxii. 37), but a symbol of thanksgiving to Allah by sharing meat with fellow-men. The solemn pronouncement of
Allah's name over the sacrifice is an essential part of the rite. (22.34)
2811 The good news: i.e. the Message of Allah, that He will accept in us the sacrifice of self for the benefit of our fellowmen.
(22.34)
22:36 - The sacrificial camels we have made for you as among the Symbols from Allah: in them is
(much) good for you: then pronounce the name of Allah over them as they line up (for
sacrifice): when they are down on their sides (after slaughter) eat ye thereof and feed such as
(beg not but) live in contentment and such as beg with due humility: thus have we made
animals subject to you that ye may be grateful. 28132814
2813 See n. 2808 to xxii. 33 above. What was expressed in general terms is applied here more particularly to camels, the
most precious and useful animals of Arabia, whose mode of slaughter for sacrifice is different from that of smaller
animals: the special word for such sacrifice is Nahr (cviii.2). (22.36)
24:45 - And Allah has created every animal from water: of them there are some that creep on their
bellies; some that walk on two legs; and some that walk on four. Allah creates what He wills:
for verily Allah has power over all things. 302130223023
3022 The creeping things include worms and lowly forms of animal life as well as reptiles (like snakes), centipedes, spiders,
and insects. Where these have legs they are small, and the description of creeping or crawling is more applicable to
them than that of walking. Fishes and sea-animals generally cannot be said to walk: their swimming is like "creeping
on their bellies". Two-legged animals include birds and man. Most of the mammals walk on four legs. This includes
the whole of the animal world. (24.45)
3023 In Allah's Will and Plan, the variety of forms and habits among animals is adapted to their various modes of life and
stages of biological development. (24.45)

Killing the Five Vicious Animals and Others that are Harmful
'Aishah reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Five of the animals are vicious and they may be killed in the
sacred precincts of Haram: the crow, the kite, the scorpion, the mouse, and the ravenous dog. This is reported by Muslim and
Bukhari, who added "(and) the snake."
