Quesion:
Is it permissible to kill flies and all other harmful insects in the house with an electronic device?
Answer:
It is as if the questioner is talking about that which is hung in the house and attracts flies, mosquitoes and the like. Our answer is that there is no problem in using these things because the death of these insects is done by electricity and not burning. If it was done by electricity and not burning then there is no problem, rather if it was a must to burn, being that there was no way to remove their harm than with burning than that is okay.....
