Killing a spider on one's carpet
Question
Spiders don’t have blood in their circulatory system. They have something else called haemolymph. Is this impure because a few weeks ago I squashed a spider on my carpet in my bedroom, so does that mean this carpet is impure? I’ve also walked all over this carpet with wet feet after wudu sometimes.
Answer
No. It is not impure.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
