Milqam bin Talb narrates from his father (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I did not hear from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) anything about the prohibition of the creeping creatures of the earth. Even if this is sound, it does not indicate that they are permissible; but the prohibition of the snake and the scorpion has been transmitted from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Arabs too did not use them except out of necessity.
