Abu Hurairah reported the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ as saying There are five(creatures) the killing of which is lawful in the sacred territory. The Snake, the Scorpion, the Kite, the Rat and the biting Dog. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1847)
أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِقَتْلِ خَمْسِ فَوَاسِقَ فِي الْحِلِّ وَالْحَرَمِ الْحِدَأَةِ وَالْعَقْرَبِ وَالْفَأْرَةِ وَالْغُرَابِ وَالْكَلْبِ الْعَقُورِ
