[Machine] "Do not kill frogs, as their croaking is glorification. And do not kill bats, for when the house of Al-Masjid al-Haram was destroyed, it said, 'O Lord, allow me to be thrown into the sea until I drown them.' So these two are suspended in bats, and their authenticity is valid. He who commanded their killing in the permissible and the prohibited, their consumption is prohibited. If it were permissible, he would not have commanded their killing in the prohibited and not in the state of pilgrimage. Allah has forbidden killing game in the state of pilgrimage, and he who has prohibited killing it, its consumption is prohibited. If it were permissible, he would have commanded its slaying. And since he has prohibited it, just as he has not prohibited the slaying of what is permissible to be slaughtered and consumed. And Allah knows best."
