Assalamu-Aleykoom, I bought a bucket a while back and left it in the corner of my room. A few months ago I discovered there were ants in there who had either fallen in or climbed in and weren't able to get out, many were dead and others were probably dying of starvation. I decided to ignore it because it wasn't my fault they were in there. I was thinking recently of the story about the woman and her cat and was wondering, is there any fault on me? I did not drop them in there, and it was not my fault they were dying in there.

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

You are not sinful for what you mentioned.

Dear brother, we advise you to stop asking so many questions because you are amongst those who ask too many questions in our site [more than 100], many of which indicate that you are affected with whispers, and some indicate that you ask about everything that comes to your mind even if it is not useful and does not lead to any action.

We hope that you give room for others to ask questions.

Also, if you want to ask about anything, then let it be about something important that necessitate action, as we have so many questions whose questioners are waiting for an answer.

Allah knows best.
