Ahmad bin Mani’ told us, Hushaym told us, Yazid bin Abi Ziyad told us, on the authority of Ibn Abi Na’am, on the authority of Abu Sa’id, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace. He said, “The Muhrim kills the common wild animal, the squirrel dog, the mouse, the scorpion, the kite, and the crow.” Abu Issa said. This is a hasan hadith. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge. They said: The person in ihram kills the common wild animal. This is the saying of Sufyan. Al-Thawri and Al-Shafi’i. Al-Shafi’i said, “Every seventh animal, except for people or their animals, then the muhrim has the right to kill it.”
