Question: Is it permissible to kill spiders in one's home?

Answer: There are two aspects to consider: on the one hand, a spider made a web at the opening of the cave of Thawr for the protection of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) and has thus become worthy of honour and on the other hand,  Ali (Radiyallahu Anhu) said:  “Wipe  spider webs from your houses, for leaving them in the house leads to   poverty.” 

 

Keep the above in mind, household spiders who build their webs in corners of our homes are not normally dangerous, should not be killed intentionally.  Remove them from the home by sweeping them out or catching them in something like boxes and throwing them out. 

It should, however, also be noted that there are some dangerous species of spiders – one is allowed to kill these types of spiders.

Question:  I currently reside in Port Shepstone and have family in Durban. I travel to Durban most weekends and school holidays. Will I be regarded as a mussaffir when I travel to Durban?

Answer: If a person sets out on a journey with the intention of travelling for 78km or more then in terms of Shariah he is considered to be a Musaafir (Shar’ee Traveler). Since Durban is more than 78km away from Port Shepstone, you will be considered as a Musaafir and will perform Qasr Salaah( 2 Rakaats in Dhuhar, Asr and Esha)

Question: Can I purchase cat food for my cat that has Haraam ingredients?

Answer: It is not permissible to feed animals under your control anything Haraam. When a person undertakes the responsibility of looking after and caring for an animal, it will be his duty to ensure that he nourishes the animal with Halaal.
