Killing Lizards

The Qur’an teaches us that all of the creatures or beings in the land and the sea are communities like humans; they glorify God and extol His praise.

Therefore, we are not allowed to kill them unless they pose a threat to our life. The Prophet wanted to teach this lesson when he said, “There was a prophet of the past who was stung by an ant, and in a fit of anger he ordered the anthill to be burned down. Allah revealed to him, ‘Because one ant stung you, you dare to burn down an entire community that glorifies God?

Therefore, the lizard is not an exception; we are only allowed to kill it if it poses a danger to our life.

Allah Almighty knows best.
