Question:
A woman is suffering from a large number of ants in the house?
Answer:
If it causes harm, there is no harm in destroying it, but not with fire. As for if it does not cause harm, it should not be targeted. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade killing the ant, the bee, the hoopoe, and the drongo, but if it causes harm, it is killed.
