Ruling on the ablution of one who kills fleas and lice

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people claim that killing fleas or lice invalidates the ablution. Is this correct?

Answer:
It is not correct. There is no harm in killing a flea, or a louse, or a scorpion that is around you while you are praying, or a snake that you strike and kill. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Kill the two black things during prayer, the snake and scorpion.اقتلوا الأسودين في الصلاة: الحية، والعقرب
Sunan Abi Dawud 921Sahih (Al-Albani)
So what about a flea or a mosquito? There is no harm in that. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
