English translation

2835. It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Prophet ﷺ said: "There are five kinds of animals for which there is no sin on the one who kills them when he is in a state of Ihrām: Kites, mice, vicious dogs, scorpions and crows." (Sahih)

Arabic text

2832 - أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ أَبُو قُدَامَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " خَمْسٌ مِنَ الدَّوَابِّ لَا جُنَاحَ عَلَى مَنْ قَتَلَهُنَّ - أَوْ فِي قَتْلِهِنَّ - وَهُوَ حَرَامٌ: الْحِدَأَةُ، وَالْفَأْرَةُ، وَالْكَلْبُ الْعَقُورُ، وَالْعَقْرَبُ، وَالْغُرَابُ "

Commentary

1. The harmfulness of scorpion is clear. Rather, its venom often proves more dangerous than that of a serpent. 2. "There is no sin for one who kills them": Besides its not being a sin, there is also no expiation, etc., whether one is Muhrim or non-Muhrim.
