Assalam Alaikum
I know this is a weird question but it is something that has bothered me. I was at the playground with my son and a group of boys were running around roughhousing and one of them saw an ant and before I could say anything started torturing it with his play car saying die die and laughing like it was great fun to torture it. He ran away to catch up with his playmates. I was sitting there thinking how horrible it was when all of a sudden I spoted the ant that he had chased into the dirt and tryed to kill. It was still alive and walking in crazy circles. I felt bad for it. I asked Allah to give it mercy. My question is should I have killed it to end it's suffering?? I don't like to kill any thing even bugs. I did not kill it when I left it was still walking in crazy circles.
I feel guilty because I did not know how to help it . But does anyone think I should have killed it?
