Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on killing mosquitoes with an electric swatter?
Answer:
By Allah, this is problematic, because the electricity burns; they burn. We have been prohibited from torturing with fire. So you have other pesticides; use the other pesticides to kill mosquitoes and flies that do not involve fire or burning. Yes.
