Killing Mosquitoes and Flies with Electrical Devices
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on killing mosquitoes and flies with electrical devices? Is this considered burning them with fire?
Answer:
By Allah, there is no doubt that if you kill them by means other than electric shock, that is better. But if you cannot do so except by electric shock, then it is permissible, because this is removing harm. So do not resort to it unless you are unable to do otherwise. Yes.
