Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I have a lot of ants appearing in my house. I asked a Ruqyah practitioner, and he said to sprinkle salt in these places. Is there a Shari'ah evidence for this?
Answer:
We do not know of a Shari'ah evidence for this. You can use some of the things that drive ants away; ask the people of medicine for something that keeps the ants away from you. Yes.
