Is electricity considered fire, and is this that kills the mosquito considered killing by fire?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : Shaykh, is electricity considered fire? And branching from that is the question: is this that hangs to kill the mosquito?

The Shaykh : Yes, yes, there is no doubt it is fire.

The questioner : Fire.

The Shaykh : Yes, is it hot?

The questioner : It is hot.

The Shaykh : Yes, indeed. But it is a light fire. As for the fire that kills the mosquito, it does not kill it by its heat, but rather by the shock. The evidence for this is that if you placed a piece of paper or something that ignites quickly on this bulb, it would not ignite. Yes, O 'Abd.
