The Ruling on Killing Harmful Animals

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Shaykh. This brother says: Regarding harmful animals, such as cats and dogs, knowing that these animals defile the crops in every part of the house, what is the ruling on killing these harmful animals?

Answer:
Yes, if their harm cannot be repelled except by killing them, drive them away, repel them. If they cannot be repelled, and they do not leave you alone, and their harm continues, then kill them. Any animal whose harm cannot be repelled except by killing it is to be killed. Yes.
