باب النهي عَنْ قَبل حَيَّاتِ البيوتِ إِلَّا بَعْدَ تَحْذِيرِهَا إلا الْأَبْتَر وَذَا الطميتينِ فَإِنَّهُمَا يُقتلان
Chapter: Prohibition of killing house snakes except after warning them, except the short-tailed and two-striped, for they are to be killed
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 6495 — Prohibition of killing house snakes except
عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ قَتْلِ عَوَامِرِ الْبُيُوتِ إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ ذَوِي الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ وَالْأَبْتَرَ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَكْمِهَانِ الْأَبْصَارَ وَتُخْدَجُ مِنْهُنَّ النِّسَاءُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade killing snakes that live in houses, except for two types: one that has two stripes on its back, and the other, the short-tailed harmful snake. These two cause blindness and cause pregnant women to miscarry.
