Question:
Abu Muhammad, Honorable Shaykh, he says: We are in our new home, may Allah protect you, and there are some insects in the house, such as ants and others. Is it permissible, Honorable Shaykh, to kill these with hot water or by burning them?
Answer:
It is not permissible to kill them with fire. Rather, the ants should be warned to leave. If they do not leave, they are to be killed by means other than fire, using the known pesticides. Yes.
