The questioner:
The questioner: The third question is about the ants, Shaykh, the ones in the house. We have ants in our house, and by Allah, we hate them, Shaykh. May Allah bless you. Or something, and it is not even their religion.
The Shaykh:
The Shaykh: If the ants cannot be repelled except by exterminating them, you use the pesticide that relieves you of their harm. If they can be repelled by other means, you repel them. Yes.

The questioner: Shaykh, do cockroaches and other insects fall under this ruling?

May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.
