Killing Snakes in Houses and Seeking Their Permission
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: Is there any hadith regarding killing the snakes that appear in houses? And are we commanded to seek their permission on specific days?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade killing snakes in houses until they are warned and cautioned. If they leave, praise be to Allah. If they do not leave, it becomes clear that they are snakes and not scorpions, so they are killed to ward off their harm. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
