if there are a overwhelming amount of spiders and they are starting to get into your food and drawers and sofa's.then its halah to kill them.but if its just one or two then no.unless they are poisonous as well then kill them.but spiders don't usually harm you.they actually kill off other insects like those annoying flies and roaches.

When did I ever mention I wanted to kill a spider? If you had bothered to read my first post and other posts it said, how do we handle these? Most people got the idea, then I asked where does it say that we cant? Or can? Its not really a hard question. Its the question of whether we are ALLOWED to kill a spider, where it says we cant/can or any suggestions from our holy book. None of you have even answered my question of what to do if they are becoming a nuisance. If theres are 10s or 100s of spiders in my room? What If I dont have enough paper to remove them all? Its not a phobia, I just dont like creepy crawly things and I dont think I could be in a room of 100s of spiders. Wouldnt be able to use the conviential method of destroying them or using insecticides. How hard can it be to answer that? The whole purpose of this topic was to investigate the whole idea, and you called me ignorant.

Can you provide me the surat and spaaraa where it says this?

If you get many spiders more than five frequently, then by all means use whatever you want to. It does not state in Qur-an to kill or not to kill spiders, it's just that people (muslims) read the hadith of the cave and interpreted that we should not kill them. If it is necessary, then by all means, if it is not necessary, then don't; which comes down to your moral belief of life of how a creature should be handled.

You're wrong about people not killing spiders because they've misinterpreted the hadith. It's out of respect not just for their right to life but out of fondness due to their role in helping to protect the Prophet (PBUH).

The Quran forbids taking a life without just cause.. fear isn't a just cause for killing any living being. Lastly, all animals are muslim and worship Allah swt just as we do. No one has the right to take that away from them.

I dont know whats worse. Destroying the environment and the world Allah gave us to live in, or killing an innocent creature Allah has created, that He has wrote in the Quran to treasure these small miracles Allah has created.

P.S - I go to your school.

I’m sure you’re all bored with the spider debate by now – but let me share my spider related experiences with you. I am the official ‘spider catcher’ in my household. When my brothers see a spider they start jumping around and panicking (they almost end up behaving like spiders themselves long arms and legs flailing around everywhere – oh yes and they’re in their early twenties) – I am duly commissioned whereby I get my handy jar (needs to have a big mouth) and a stiff piece of cardboard and I gently scoop the spider into the jar. I cannot bear to kill these creatures – in England the average household spider doesn’t bite. We’re just conditioned to think that they are harmful. I think the spiders are grateful for being let out safely rather than watch my brothers panic!! And I’d like to think that maybe just maybe these spiders make a dua for me when theyre 'rescued'. :wub:

Do they cause you any harm? No. Then why fear them?......let them live with you in your room. :)
 
The overall idea was. CAN we kill them? I dont have a problem with them, it was just a debate with my freind to see who could gather more evidence to prove his idea. Neither won, we came to the conclusion it does not state in the Quran whether you can kill spiders or not, it depends on how you interpret the Quran and the Hadith.
