Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In front of my house, there is a mountain where a number of dogs gather—may Allah reward you—which frighten the children with their barking and deprive us of sleep. Is it permissible for us to kill them with poison or by shooting them with a rifle?
Answer:
Answer: This is the last resort when driving them away has not been effective and nothing remains but killing them. You kill the animal that causes harm and whose harm cannot be repelled except by killing it.
