Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Is it permissible for a person who is praying to kill harmful insects, such as flies and mosquitoes, if they are bothering him during his prayer?

There is nothing wrong with it; there is no harm in that. He may drive them away by killing them. Yes.
