The Shaykh : Is it permissible for a person in a state of ihram to kill flies and ants?
Answer: It is not permissible to kill flies and ants, not only for the person in a state of ihram, but also for the person in a state of normality (muhall), except in one case. From this, it is understood that the term "harmful creatures" (al-'uqur) is taken into account. If the ants are extremely harmful to the pilgrim, then it is permissible to kill them as well. However, in general, it is not permissible to kill ants, even when not in a state of ihram.
