Q&A⚖️ Fiqh & Law

Your Eminence, there are narrations that encourage killing the lizard. It has also been recommended to perform ghusl (ritual purification) after killing it. We notice that many people kill it on the grounds that its presence is repulsive and frightens children and women, especially since it is often found in bathrooms. What is your opinion?

Answer

In the name of Allah, it is known among the scholars that it is recommended to perform ghusl after killing the lizard, and we have endorsed this in its proper place. Allah knows best.
