Is it permissible to kill harmful insects with fire?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: What is the ruling on killing some insects, such as ants, for example?

Answer:
It is not permissible unless they are harmful, in which case they are killed by means other than fire. Fire is not used to kill; no one is tormented by fire except the Lord of the Fire.
