The Islamic tradition has much to say on different animals. Perhaps most strikingly, the hadith provide the remarkable story of the buraq, a flying creature which took Muhammad on a tour of the [[al-masjid al-aqsa]] as well as the [[jannah|heavens]]. Outside of the [[buraq]], the presents [[Muhammad]] and the [[sahabah]] as having strong opinions on different animals. Above all the tradition shows a great antipathy towards dogs, who will keep angels from entering the house of those who possess them. Their killing is condoned, along with some other "troublesome" reptiles such as salamanders, geckos and snakes. In addition, only some animals may be killed and eaten by the believers, including cows, goats, and sheep. While the eating of "unclean" animals such as dogs and reptiles is condemned, so likewise is vegetarianism, and indeed the tradition states that meat will be served to the believers in heaven.

While animals that aren't allowed to be eaten include carnivores with fangs such as dogs, cats and lions. Birds with talons are also not allowed to be eaten such as falcons.

So the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) commanded that they should be killed.”<ref>[http://www.islam-qa.com/en/ref/13821/Mischief Killing salamanders by hand] - Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid, Islam Q&A, Fatwa No. 13821</ref>}}
