What is the ruling on killing locusts in Makkah?

Question : Locusts. Is it permissible to kill them or not?

Answer : It is not permissible. For this reason, sometimes locusts gather near the Haram and multiply because of the lights, and we see the boys racing to catch them, taking them, and killing them. I have heard that some of them collect them in a bag and then sell them. Is this permissible or not? It is not permissible, because locusts are game, so it is not permissible. Very well.
