Chapter on What is Permissible and Impermissible for the Muhrim to Do and Use of All Types
وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْمُحْرِمِ وَ مَا يَقْتُلُ مِنَ اَلدَّوَابِّ قَالَ «يَقْتُلُ اَلْأَسْوَدَ وَ اَلْأَفْعَى وَ اَلْفَأْرَةَ وَ اَلْعَقْرَبَ وَ كُلَّ حَيَّةٍ وَ إِنْ أَرَادَكَ اَلسَّبُعُ فَاقْتُلْهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يُرِدْكَ فَلاَ تَقْتُلْهُ وَ اَلْكَلْبُ اَلْعَقُورُ إِنْ أَرَادَكَ فَاقْتُلْهُ وَ لاَ بَأْسَ لِلْمُحْرِمِ أَنْ يَرْمِيَ اَلْحِدَأَةَ وَ إِنْ عَرَضَ لَهُ اَللُّصُوصُ اِمْتَنَعَ مِنْهُمْ ».
Muhammad ibn al-Fudhayl narrated from Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام, who said: I asked him about what a person in the state of ihram is permitted to kill from among the creatures. Imam عليه السلام said: "They may kill black snakes, vipers, mice, scorpions, and any snake. If a predatory animal attacks you, kill it; but if it does not attack, do not kill it. As for a rabid dog, if it attacks you, kill it. There is no harm for a person in ihram to throw stones at a kite. If robbers confront them, they may defend themselves."
