Killing the Gecko

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on killing the gecko? Is it a prescribed matter?

Answer:
Yes, because the gecko is harmful to people in its poison and its nuisance, so it is among the things that are killed to repel its harm. Yes.
