If the snake is of the kind that is driven away, is it driven away during prayer?

The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you. I say: If the snake is of the kind that is driven away, is it driven away during prayer?

The Shaykh : Did you name his question? Oh, peace be upon you. He says: If the snake is of the kind that is driven away, is it driven away during prayer? Because the snakes of the house are not killed.
The snakes of the house are not killed. If you see a snake in the house, do not kill it; drive it away. To drive it away means to say: You are safe from me if I see you again. If it comes a second time, drive it away. If it comes a third time, drive it away. If it comes a fourth time, kill it. Because if it is a jinn, it is driven away by the three warnings.
It will leave and not return. And if it is not a jinn, it does nothing, so kill it. The reason for this is that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) had a man who came one day to his home, having recently married. He found the woman at the door. He asked her what had brought her out. She said: Look. He went to the bed and found a snake in it, coiled up. He took a spear and killed it, and he did not know which died faster, the man or the snake; he died with it. When that reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he forbade killing the jinn that are in the houses, except the one with the short tail and the one with two humps. The one with the short tail is the one whose tail is short, and the one with two humps is a type of snake with two blue lines on its back. These two are killed because they pluck the eyesight and follow what is in the bellies of women.
