Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a person in ihram to kill some insects or locusts that bother him while he is sleeping or praying?

Answer:
It is not hunting; this is not hunting, so he kills it. Also, it is harmful, and one repels the harm of a harmful thing by killing it. Yes.
