Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Kill the snakes having stripes over them and short-tailed snakes, for these two types cause miscarriage (of a pregnant woman) and they affect the eyesight adversely. So Ibn 'Umar used to kill every snake that he found. Abu Lubaba bin 'Abd al-Mundhir and Zaid bin Khattab saw him pursuing a snake, whereupon he said: They were forbidden (to kill) those snakes who live in houses.
