Question:
The questioner says: I am in a village, and my mother has a house in that village made of clay. So I ask about the ruling on killing ants, as they are numerous in this clay house. Does this include what we call here "dhar" (small insects) and other insects?
Answer:
All harmful creatures, whether ants or otherwise, if their harm cannot be repelled except by killing them, then they are killed to repel their harm. Yes.
