Arabic text

2834 - أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ مَا يَقْتُلُ الْمُحْرِمُ؟ قَالَ: «يَقْتُلُ الْعَقْرَبَ، وَالْفُوَيْسِقَةَ، وَالْحِدَأَةَ، وَالْغُرَابَ، وَالْكَلْبَ الْعَقُورَ»

Commentary

All the evils or wickedness of a kite are found in the crow. It is rather more harmful, because of its remaining close-by all the time. It causes a lot of annoyance. It is, therefore, permissible to kill it.
