وَمَنْ قَتَلَ قَمْلَةً تَصَدَّقَ بِمَا شَاءَ.
Translation: Whoever kills a louse gives in charity an amount of their choosing.

Qamlah is one louse. Al-Quduri prescribes an unspecified charitable payment, rather than a full game valuation or a sheep offering.

It is inaccurate to read this as the identical “nothing due” rule for mosquitoes, or as an obligatory full-animal offering.
