Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. In some armies, they train individuals to capture animals while they are alive. Is that permissible?
The Shaykh:
No, that is not permissible, that is not permissible. This is making the forbidden permissible. It is not permissible. It is not permissible to kill snakes or insects. There is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator. This is not permissible. Yes.
