Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.  (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

 

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Dear Mr Burhan

Assalamo Alaikum

 

I appreciate your effort and hardwork.  May Allah reward you and your team for the good cause.

2.  If the Quran by mistake fell from the hand, is there some kuffara to be given?

3.  Can we kill fly, black ants, which we find in the house?

 

thanks

A Sister

Answer:

 

Can we kill black ants flies

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol,  no person,  no grave, no prophet,  no imam,  no dai,  nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Q-1:  If the Quran by mistake fell from the hand, is there some kuffara to be given?

If someone intentionally throws or dishonors the Holy Quran,  it is a grave sin and one must seek repentance from Allah Subhanah.    But if the Quran falls from the hand by mistake,  there is no sin and no kaffarah.

 

Q-2:  Can we kill fly, black ants, which we find in the house?

There is absolutely no harm and no sin if one kills a fly or ants in the house.  The basic law is that if any insect or animal is a pest, or harmful,  or endangers man and his property,  there is no harm in killing it.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your Brother in Islam,
