Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : His EminenceThe Shaykh : What is the ruling on using a device to kill flies and mosquitoes with electricity?
The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with it. He is asking about using a device that is hung up to kill flies and mosquitoes? We say: There is nothing wrong with it, because this is not tormenting them with fire, but rather it is by electrocution. And even if it were fire, and one could not repel their harm except by that, there is nothing wrong with it.
