The ruling on killing house snakes without warning them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. In another question, he asks: Is it permissible to kill the snakes found in houses without warning them?
The Shaykh:
Without warning them. The snakes found in houses are to be warned. If they leave and withdraw, praise be to Allah. If they persist in causing harm, they are to be killed; because they are harmful, and because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Five are to be killed, the free ones"Sunan an-Nasa'i 2881Sahih (Darussalam), and he mentioned the snake among them, due to the harm, fear, and terror it causes. But if it is in the inner parts of the house, it is to be warned; because it is feared that it may be from the jinn. So it is warned to leave. If it persists and does not leave, and this becomes the case, it is to be killed to prevent its harm.
The questioner:
What is said to it regarding its persistence.
The Shaykh:
One says to it: "Depart, stay away from us," or something to that effect. Yes.
