Killing it while in ihram

Ibn Harmalah said: I said to Sa'id: I killed a tick or a locust while I was in ihram. Sa'id said to me: Give a date in charity; a date is better than it.

Al-Qasim asked a man about a person in ihram who kills a tick. He said: A date, or rather half a date, is better than a tick; indeed even a date-stone is better than a tick.

Al-Sha'bi said: If a person in ihram kills a tick, he should give a handful of wheat, flour or dates in charity.

Ikrimah was asked about a person in ihram who kills a large tick. He said: He should give a piece of bread in charity.
