[Machine] "Aisha narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited the killing of snakes. Muhammad ibn Ubayd said that they are allowed to be killed if found in houses, and he ordered us to kill two types: the blind snake and the striped one. He said that they seek out the sight and cause miscarriage in women. Whoever leaves them is not from me."
