Ruling on killing monkeys that enter houses using poison?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman asks: Some people are harmed by monkeys, as they enter our homes and drink from the pool water. They carry contagious diseases. Is it permissible to kill them by placing poison for them?
Answer:
If they cause harm, there is nothing wrong with it; otherwise, they should be driven away without killing them. Drive them away with a stick, or with stones or the like, and that is sufficient. If they cause harm, it is permissible to kill them.
