I want to ask Can we use mosquito hitting swatter to kill the mosquoitoes.As huzoor sallaallahu alahi wasallam said that punishment of fire is in the hands of Allah only.

Answer

(Fatwa: 472/472=N)

Generally, the available mosquito hitting machines do not burn the mosquito rather the mosquitoes got fainted and die due to its poison. And, when such machines suffice for this purpose, there is no need to use swatter which burn the insects: لا یعذب بالنار الا رب النار (ابو داؤد: 2/363)
