What is the ruling on eating insects and rodents?

The schools of thought of Shafi'i, Abu Hanifa, Ahmad, and Dawud prohibited land insects such as snakes, scorpions, and mice, basing their rulings on the Almighty's saying: ﴿and prohibits for them the evil things﴾, and on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "There are five animals, all of which are harmful, and can be killed even within the sacred precincts of the Haram: the crow, the kite, the scorpion, the mouse, and the rabid dog." The Prophet (peace be upon him) also commanded the killing of geckos. The Almighty's saying: ﴿Say, "I do not find within that which was revealed to me [anything] forbidden"﴾ means among what you used to eat and consider good.
