Dealing with Ants in the House and Warning Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah love you. He says: A group of ants has appeared in our house. Should we kill them directly, or should we warn them? And how do we warn them?
Answer:
If the warning is of benefit, then warn them. If the warning is of benefit, praise be to Allah. Say: “You have harmed us, so leave our house or our place, and stop your harm to us,” or words to that effect. If this is of benefit, praise be to Allah. If it is not of benefit, then it is permissible to kill the one who causes harm, but not with fire. Ants, or anything else, are not to be killed in fire. Rather, they are to be killed with the known pesticides. Yes.
