The One Praying Encounters Predatory Animals and Harmful Creatures and He Kills Them

وَ سَأَلَهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَقْتُلُ اَلْبَقَّةَ وَ اَلْبُرْغُوثَ وَ اَلْقَمْلَةَ وَ اَلذُّبَابَ وَ هُوَ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ أَ يَنْقُضُ ذَلِكَ صَلاَتَهُ وَ وُضُوءَهُ قَالَ «لاَ.
He asked him about a person who kills a louse, a flea, a mosquito, or a fly while in prayer. Does this invalidate his prayer and wudu? Imam عليه السلام said: "No."
