Repelling the Harm of Ants and Others by Available Means
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The third question of Fatwa No. ( 18512 )
Q 3: There is an ant in front of our house, about 10 meters away, and it has another nest in the grain harvest area. It is harming us, so what should we do with it? Please issue a ruling, may you be rewarded, may Allah reward you with good.
A 3 : The harm of ants and others is repelled by available means, but it is not permissible to burn them with fire; due to the prohibition of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding that. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
