Also, it is a sin to touch their property.” It is written in the fifth
volume of Durr-ul-Mukhtâr: “It is worse to torment the zimmî,
who is a non-Muslim compatriot, than it is to torment a Muslim.
To mistreat and torture an animal is worse than doing the same
thing to a zimmî. It is permitted to greet the zimmî and to shake
hands with him in order not to torment him. The case is the
same with greeting a sinner who commits sins publicly.”
The book Bariqa says while explaining the disasters caused
by the hand, “It is permissible to kill ants that do harm to man
and his food, provided they will not be tormented or thrown into
water. It is permissible to burn wood that has ants inside after
shaking it by knocking it down on the ground. It is always
permissible to kill mice, lice, fleas, scorpions and locusts. It is
makrûh to throw lice, while they are alive, on the ground or to
burn any living creature. It is permissible to slaughter, shoot or
poison a harmful cat, a mad dog or wild beasts with a sharp

cannot be taught manners. In case it is necessary to kill a living

cure a disease like gangrene. It is permissible to incise into the
bladder [the kidney and the gall] in order to get stones out. It is
never permissible to slap a living thing on the face for any
reason.

media. These poor people do not realize that to eradicate Islâm
from the world means to deprive people of happiness, comfort,
safety, and to draw themselves and all the humanity into
disasters and troubles. In short, it means to cut the ground from
under their own feet. Allahu ta’âlâ, by declaring: “In order to
avoid suffering the attacks and torments of disbelievers
and in order to enable them to attain endless bliss, work as
ceaselessly as is humanly possible. Make the most perfect
media of war,” in the sixtieth âyât of Sûrat-ul-Anfal, commands
us to honour these disbelievers by helping them to become
Muslims or not to meddle with the workings or the worships of
those who yield themselves to Islâm’s protection by accepting
