اُردوEn
اَخْبَرَنَا جَرِیْرٌ، عَنْ لَیْثِ بْنِ اَبِیْ سُلَیْمٍ، عَنْ طَاؤُوْسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسِ عَنِ النَّبِیِّ صَلَّی اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَعَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِیِّ صَلَّی اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: خَمْسٌ هُنَّ فَوَاسِقٌ، یُقْتَلْنَ فِی الْحَرَمِ، وَیَقْتُلُهُنَّ الرَّجُلُ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ: اَلْفَارَةُ وَالْعَقْرَبُ، وَالْکَلْبُ الْعَقُوْرُ، وَالْحِدَأْةُ، وَالْغُرَابُ.
Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace be upon him) said: "There are five animals that are wicked; they may be killed even in the Haram, and a person in the state of Ihram may also kill them: the rat, the scorpion, the biting dog, the kite, and the crow."
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Abdush Shakoor Tirmidhi
Benefits:
Within the boundaries of the Haram or while in the state of ihram, a person is not permitted to hunt; this is prohibited. As Allah the Exalted says: ﴿O you who have believed, do not kill game while you are in the state of ihram.﴾ (: al-Ma'idah: 95) The Shari'ah has also strictly forbidden killing and bloodshed within the boundaries of the Haram.
It is permissible to kill the aforementioned animals everywhere, because these are harmful animals; therefore, they are called fawasiq (harmful creatures). It is also understood that killing these animals is a meritorious act, because one receives reward for acting upon every command of the Shari'ah. These animals are not restricted to those specifically mentioned; rather, by analogy with the scorpion, all harmful animals—such as wasps, and in some narrations, snakes are also mentioned—are included.
Al-kalbu al-‘aqur: ... This refers to every biting and tearing beast, such as a lion, leopard, wolf, bear, etc.
