Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This one asks: Is it permissible to kill the gecko in the Haram?

The Shaykh : Abu Barish, the lizard. This is a new name. I am Majdi, O Shaykh, I am sorry, the drink. Yes, Abu Barid, does it have children? The Beloved. Glory be to Allah, in any case, you know. Is the lizard killed in the Haram or not? We say it is killed in the Haram, because every harmful thing is killed, and the lizard is harmful. For this reason, some of them call it the leper’s poison, because it is a poison, and because it used to blow fire on Ibrahim. Do you know, I seek refuge in Allah, Ibrahim (peace be upon him), do you know his story? This one used to blow fire on Ibrahim. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the killing of lizards in any place, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called them *huyusqan*. Yes.
