Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh In principle it is not permissible to torture or kill any creation of Allah Ta’ala using fire. It is exclusively the right of Allah Ta’ala to punish with fire. عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أنه قال : بعثنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم في بعث فقال ( إن وجدتم فلانا وفلانا فأحرقوهما بالنار ) . ثم قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم حين أردنا الخروج ( إني أمرتكم أن تحرقوا فلانا وفلانا وإن النار لا يعذب بها إلا الله فإن وجدتموهما فاقتلوهما ) (Bukhari Vol.4 pg 27, Darul Fikr) It is permissible to kill flies, mosquitoes etc using an electric light or bat. (Aap ki Masa’il vol.4 pg 246) And Allah knows best Wassalamu Alaikum Ml. Rayhaan Docrat,
