2831. It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "There are five (animals) for which there is no sin on the Muḥrim if he kills them: Crows, kites, scorpions, mice and vicious dogs.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

2828 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " خَمْسٌ لَيْسَ عَلَى الْمُحْرِمِ فِي قَتْلِهِنَّ جُنَاحٌ: الْغُرَابُ، وَالْحِدَأَةُ، وَالْعَقْرَبُ، وَالْفَأْرَةُ، وَالْكَلْبُ الْعَقُورُ "

Commentary

Hunting is forbidden to a Muḥrim. Likewise, it is forbidden to kill any animal. But harmful creatures may be killed. They might become a source of trouble (if not killed). Therefore, he is allowed to kill them in order to protect himself from their harm.
