Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: My mother complains, my mother complains about a cat that harms her in the house; it urinates on the clothes and the bedding, and we find no way to get rid of it, to get rid of it, except by killing it by shooting it. Is this permissible?
Answer:
This is the last resort if it cannot be driven away. If you drove it out, expelled it, and tried to prevent it, but it did not stop, then it is permissible to kill it to remove the harm. Yes.
