All I am trying to understand here is that is it okay to not kill the spider out of respect.
My friend thinks it falls under Superstition
yes its okay not to kill a spider and just as you do .. scoop it up and distance it from yourself .. so if it even is harmful it wont get close to you ..
There are only a few venemous spiders whose bites will kill and they only attack if provoked.
Common house spiders are harmless and cute, they do bite but its kinda like a mossie bite.
I usually scoop 'em up and throw 'em out.
yes this is the way to stay away from and if Allah na karey they are hatmful ... because you ve thrown em away from you , like you said .. if provoked they will attack otherwise .. your safe.
i kill them , if they r harmful to then u shud kill them , its nt a gunah or major sin is it also i have pigeon phobia .. i cnatgo near them or newhere where they are :( i wnt them all killed
i dunt thinkits a major sin, or minor .. i would believe something along the lines of ''Disliked'' .. if you can avoid killing em then do so and if its absolute necessary then .... what r ya waiting for.. christmas..lolz
..
your the first ever person .. that i ve now know who has pigeon phobia .. nice to meet ya .. :D .. i dunt know how would i answer this .. cos i ve never known anyone like so.
yes sista ji.. i know pigeons are halal and are permissable to eat, but what am saying is that, where is the reference or a saying from the companions which dictates .. that spiders are permissable to kill ... and your point also that some spiders are dangerous.. and so how do we work out what to kill and what not to kill .... basically, my understatement would be that there is no such thing as superstion and all spiders are permissable to kill .. if it needs be .. and if not then they are thrown away so that they cant cause harm, and the thought that .. they are to be respected i think should not exist cos logically if you think about it ... they are not to be killed .. and if you say . some are dangerous .. which i agree .... and ppl by respecting one spider may think this isnt harmfull and dont kill it but it harms the person.... so therefore .. bottom line would be .. all spiders are allowed to be killed and pigeons are permissable to eat..
But do correct me sista, if you have reference to state otherwise.. we all make mistakes.. and may Allah forgive me If i say which is aginst ... the truth and facts.
I don't know any hadith about kill or not to kill a spider but there are some ahadith which say that we should not kill animals (birds and insects etc) without a reason and also should not torture them.
Adra it wouldn;t fall under superstition in any case. If you believed that killing a spider will bring you 7 yrs of badluck or spiders bring good luck that would be superstition.

I dont believe in that, Ive broken 7 mirrors in the past 7 years and life keeps on getting better and better.
My childhood beliefs were a bit shaken when someone suggested its superstition to believe in such things.
But I guess there is no harm being done if you arent hurting a spider and everytime you see one it reminds you of The Prophet
