ANSWER:

There’s no problem, none whatsoever in killing spiders!

QUESTION: Is it permissible to kill spiders? I have arachnophobia (fear of spiders), there are times I can’t sleep because Ive imagined one. I call my dad or brother to take them out but sometimes they kill them even though I tell them not to. But I still call them because I don’t know what else to do. Am I sinful for this?
