The Shaykh: Is this in Sahih Muslim?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: On your honor?

The questioner: On my honor.

The Shaykh: I think you are mistaken. Where did you see it attributed to Sahih Muslim?

The questioner: I passed by and read it in Sahih Muslim.

The Shaykh: Then do not trouble yourself. I am the one who is wrong, or you are? Let us review it.

The questioner: I am sure I read it in Sahih Muslim ... also in the Imam al-Bukhari Mosque.

Is it permissible to kill other than these animals out of necessity?

The Shaykh: May Allah guide you. Out of necessity, it is permissible to kill a Muslim. May Allah guide you.

The questioner: But there are cases ... hot water, like cockroaches and the like.

The Shaykh: This has developed the fatwa. Now we were at killing, and we have moved to hot water. Define your question. May Allah guide you?

The questioner: Is it permissible to kill insects with hot water?

The Shaykh: This question is not that one. Why with hot water? Why not by stepping on them or by another method?

The questioner: For example, there are several cockroaches in ... a specific place ... and he pours water on them, for example.

The Shaykh: Yes, if there is no means other than this method, then it is permissible. There is no power or strength except with Allah. Yes.
