[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ permitted killing animals and it is forbidden for a man to kill a snake, scorpion, blind dog, piebald crow, mongoose, and rat. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was bitten by a scorpion, so he ordered it to be killed, even though it is forbidden.  

أحمد:٢٦١٣٢ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُرَّةَ أَبُو الْمُعَلَّى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَحَلَّ مِنْ قَتْلِ الدَّوَابِّ وَالرَّجُلُ مُحْرِمٌ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ الْحَيَّةَ وَالْعَقْرَبَ وَالْكَلْبَ الْعَقُورَ وَالْغُرَابَ الْأَبْقَعَ وَالْحُدَيَّا وَالْفَأْرَةَ وَلَدَغَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَقْرَبٌ فَأَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهَا وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ

Ibn ‘Umar said The Prophet ﷺ was asked as to which of the creatures could be killed by a pilgrim in the sacred state. He said there are five creatures which it is not a sin for anyone to kill, outside or inside the sacred area. The Scorpion, the Crow, the Rat, the Kite and the biting Dog.  

أبو داود:١٨٤٦ – حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَالِمٍ

عَنْ أَبِيهِ سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَمَّا يَقْتُلُ الْمُحْرِمُ مِنَ الدَّوَابِّ فَقَالَ خَمْسٌ لاَ جُنَاحَ فِي قَتْلِهِنَّ عَلَى مَنْ قَتَلَهُنَّ فِي الْحِلِّ وَالْحَرَمِ الْعَقْرَبُ وَالْفَأْرَةُ وَالْحِدَأَةُ وَالْغُرَابُ وَالْكَلْبُ الْعَقُورُ
