Assalamualaikum va rahmatullahi va barakathuhu
There is so many cockroaches in my home and the cats catches them and play with it but they are not killing it fastly and also not eating it. So do we need to kill it fast by not leaving it to the cat?

Answer:

Yes, you should try to keep your home clean, as these insects carry illnesses and are filthy.
See the post “Is it permissible to kill harmful insects?” at Dar al-Ifta al-Missriyyah.
