Sanctuary Animals

"Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar:\n\nAllah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, \"It is not sinful of a Muhrim to kill five kinds of animals.\"\n\nOne of the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) narrated:\n\nThe Prophet (ﷺ) said, \"A Muhrim can kill (five kinds of animals.)\"\n\nNarrated Hafsa:\n\nAllah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, \"It is not sinful (of a Muhrim) to kill five kinds of animals, namely: the crow, the kite, the mouse, the scorpion and the rabid dog.\"\n\nNarrated Aisha:\n\nAllah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, \"Five kinds of animals are harmful and could be killed in the Haram (Sanctuary). These are: the crow, the kite, the scorpion, the mouse and the rabid dog.\"\n\nNarrated `Abdullah:\n\nWhile we were in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) in a cave at Mina, when Surat-wal-Mursalat were revealed and he recited it and I heard it (directly) from his mouth as soon as he recited its revelation. Suddenly a snake sprang at us and the Prophet (ﷺ) said (ordered us): \"Kill it.\" We ran to kill it but it escaped quickly. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, \"It has escaped your evil and you too have escaped its evil.\"\n\nNarrated `Aisha the wife of the Prophet:\n\nAllah's Messenger (ﷺ) called the salamander a bad animal, but I did not hear him ordering it to be killed.\"\n\nNarrated Sa`id bin Abu Sa`id Al-Maqburi:\n\nAbu Shuraih, Al-`Adawi said that he had said to `Amr bin Sa`id when he was sending the troops to Mecca (to fight `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair), \"O Chief! Allow me to tell you what Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said on the day following the Conquest of Mecca. My ears heard that and my heart understood it thoroughly and I saw with my own eyes the Prophet (ﷺ) when he, after Glorifying and Praising Allah, started saying, 'Allah, not the people, made Mecca a sanctuary, so anybody who has belief in Allah and the Last Day should neither shed blood in it, nor should he cut down its trees. If anybody tells (argues) that fighting in it is permissible on the basis that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did fight in Mecca, say to him, 'Allah allowed His Apostle and did not allow you.' \"Allah allowed me only for a few hours on that day (of the conquest) and today its sanctity is valid as it was before. So, those who are present should inform those who are absent (concerning this fact.\" Abu Shuraih was asked, \"What did `Amr reply?\" He said, (`Amr said) 'O Abu Shuraih! I know better than you in this respect Mecca does not give protection to a sinner, a murderer or a thief.\"\n\nNarrated Ibn `Abbas:\n\n\"The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Allah has made Mecca, a sanctuary, so it was a sanctuary before me and will continue to be a sanctuary after me. It was made legal for me (i.e. I was allowed to fight in it) for a few hours of a day. It is not allowed to uproot its shrubs or to cut its trees, or to chase (or disturb) its game, or to pick up its luqata (fallen things) except by a person who would announce that (what he has found) publicly.' Al-`Abbas said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Except Al-Idhkhir (a kind of grass) (for it is used) by our goldsmiths and for our graves.' The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, 'Except Al-Idhkhir.' \" `Ikrima said, 'Do you know what \"chasing or disturbing\" the game means? It means driving it out of the shade to occupy its place.'\n\nNarrated Ibn `Abbas:\n\nOn the day of the conquest of Mecca, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, \"There is no more emigration (from Mecca) but Jihad and intentions, and whenever you are called for Jihad, you should go immediately. No doubt, Allah has made this place (Mecca) a sanctuary since the creation of the heavens and the earth and will remain a sanctuary till the Day of Resurrection as Allah has ordained its sanctity. Fighting was not permissible in it for anyone before me, and even for me it was allowed only for a portion of a day. So, it is a sanctuary with Allah's sanctity till the Day of Resurrection. Its thorns should not be uprooted and its game should not be chased; and its luqata (fallen things) should not be picked up except by one who would announce that publicly, and its vegetation (grass etc.) should not be cut.\" Al-`Abbas said, \"O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Except Al-Idhkhir, (for it is used by their blacksmiths and for their domestic purposes).\" So, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, \"Except Al-Idhkhir.\""
