I rescued a dog that was abandoned by my neighbour when they moved out. At first i put it outside but passerby starts throwing stones and bottles. It breaks my heart to see that. One day as i reached home and was about to step out from my car not realizing theres a cobra near the gate..out of sudden the dog jump on it and save my life..since then since im staying alone and old age i decided to keep the dog to protect me from snakes and twice from burgalary.

I've just recently acquired a dog, which I did not intend. He is 11 years old and was given up because of his age and they didn't want him anymore. You don't just give dogs up after having them years as it can traumatise them. You become a part of his pack. Anyway, I fully intended to pass the little dog I rescued to a charity, but he stole my heart and he actually brought great benefit to me as I live on my own. We go out for lots of walks, which has been good for me. My bedroom is my clean space that is forbidden to him as it is where I pray. I change my clothes when I pray as well. I wouldn't purposely go out and buy a dog. This little guy was free, but we have both turned our lives around because we benefit one another. If Allah swt wills it he will stay with me till his last breath and I will be at his side when it happens and in that I hope for Allah's reward.

Dear sister I own a big dog who was brought in by my son who was emotionally distressed and a teenager. We did try to pass him on but got warnings from random people saying that this kind of dog is used as bait in dog fight. We began to love the dog. My son passed away year ago and I cannot part with his beloved dog. He loved animals.. so if allah wishes he will stay with me for the rest of his life and inshallah allah will not diminish my rewards. I actually ask allah reward for things care of one of his creations.

These are all things we ourselves teach them… the people telling these things are st*pid honeslty don’t listen. My very first job at 16 was in dog shelter and I learned a lot about these beautiful creatures. One thing for sure you can listen to these people and give him away, but will these people be there in your times or need? Everyone will have excuses suddenly but the dog… just live your life sis I wish I can give you detailed reasons why dogs aren’t haram but I can’t do that without being attacked by the crazies on here. There are real things in life that are haram and Allah made clear what they are in Quran… everything else is man made laws don’t lose your sleep over it.

Subhanallah! This is the reason why Islam is the most natural way of life. Islam doesn’t forbid dogs from even Mosques because they are just another "Ummah" and part of our broader society. Islam asks us to be rational in our decisions. Ask and be clear about why you are doing something you are doing. Just don't do things because you like to do it. That's the universal ruling you can apply on most matters.

[@HumaDurrani]

I am a recent dog owner and a practising Muslim. I avoided keeping a dog for many years due to the cultural indoctrination about dog saliva being impure so much so that if a dog even touched me slightly, I would change my clothes before praying. I decided to keep a dog recently for the sake of my children. I have to say, it was a great decision and I have no regrets. Not only has does our puppy bring us immense joy and overwhelming love, but looking after him has taught my children, responsibility, empathy and discipline. However, before I took the step to own a dog, I listened to various scholars on the subject and deduced that it was not logical to be allowed to own and train a dog and not expect to come in touch with its saliva. Consider, for instance, owning a therapy dog such as in the case of a person who is blind, would they be expected to change and wash their clothes 5 times a day because their dog licked them? A dog will lick to show affection, I don't think a non-licking dog exists :). Anyway, the point being, cultural taboos aside, Islam is a religion of practicality and logic. I cannot imagine that Allah would create the most adorable and loving of animals and then ask us to shun them.

[@unicornowner9993]

"I cannot imagine that Allah would create the most adorable and loving of animals and then ask us to shun them." This is the exact argument homosexuals use. "Why would Allah create me to love men so deeply then expect me to shun their sexual advancements?" I'm sorry to say but it seems like you went fatwah shopping to find an answer that was in line with your desires. Whatever Allah and His messenger tells us to do, we listen and we obey. Using your own logic, what's stopping you from eating swine? "I cannot imagine that Allah would create the most delicious and nutrious animal and then ask us to shun them". Also, Allah doesn't ask you to shun animals, he tells you to not bring them into your home for hygiene reasons and also dogs are known to kill young children. Just Google it. 1) Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (saws) said, “He who keeps a dog, will lose out of his good deeds equal to one Qirat (mountain) every day, except one who keeps it for guarding the fields or the herd.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. 2) In a another narration of Muslim, the Messenger of Allah (saws) is reported to have said: “He who keeps a dog for any reason other than to guard his property (lands) or his flock of sheep, his good deeds equal to two Qirat will be deducted every day.” 3) the angels do not enter “a house in which there is a statue, or a dog, or a portrait” The evidences against keeping dogs in the home are clear. It's ok to have them outside of the home and it's no problem if your children play with them. I can only advise you, what you do and what lessons you teach your children about going against Allah and His messenger is up to you, but I warn you, it sets a very dangerous precedent for when they get older and face the real temptations in life that Allah has forbade. May Allah guide us all to the straight path. I wish you well.

if you had an opportunity to observe any dog, you will see they have a sense of guarding and protecting anyone that they deem their family and will protect strangers from aggressors they have a sense of positive and negative energy and can judge who they should protect. It has been my observation that every dog has a sense of duty to protect. They are always on duty. My dog lets me know when someone gets too close to our house then we carefully check to see what is going on. It's amazing that he was in a deep sleep even snoring and jumped up from sleep to put me on notice that someone was outside our house! the person didn't even make a sound but my dog picked up on the energy. It has been my observation that when dogs bark that means it is our alarm and we need to be careful. some dogs that bark at anything and everything needs their human to spend a little more time with them to expose them to the environment and different situations to give them and understanding of most noises/sounds. once they have cataloged the different noises/sounds then they calm down. It is in my observations that all/most dogs have a duty to protect humans and it is in my opinion that every dog has a job and that job is to protect us humans from danger be that other humans or animals. The loyalty of a dog is something humans can learn from.

[@davidlee-michaels9430]

As a non-Muslim looking at the comments, to me it looks like these kind of debates boil down to 'my scholar vs your scholar'. It overcomplicates something which should be simple. If a dog licks you, just wash that part of the body, it's not a big deal. This issue of dogs being haram sounds more like a pre-Islamic or early Islamic issue where people at the time may have been concerned about contracting dangerous diseases like rabies or parasites for example. But if you take cats for example which are permissible in Islam, cats can transmit a fairly dangerous disease called toxoplasmosis. This is a disease that can affect your brain and people living in Arabia would unlikely have known anything about it. Cats can also transmit worms just like dogs, cats also lick themselves in their private area, just like dogs. So the conclusion for me is, Muslim or not if, dog or not, if an animal licks you, wash the part that was licked and just move on with your life, it's really not that big a deal. I know I'll get hit with the 'well you're not a Muslim so your comment is meaningless' but just try looking at it from a logical and common sense point of view.

You can't pick and chose just because you want a dog. If Allah has said no you shouldn't even need a reason, it could be a simple test because Allah knows how much humans will love dogs, so he tests us to not keep them as pets. As a revert this is a very big mistake, never pick and chose what you like. The majority say dogs as pets for pleasure indoor is not allowed. Be careful.

Even in the Maliki position it is makrooh to own a dog if there is no benefit (playing is not benefit). And with the majority position being that it is Haram to own if there is no benefit, I would be careful with going to a minority position that even then is still considering it makrooh (disliked). At the least make sure to protect against the saliva from a prayer room and prayer clothes if you do go for it, Allah yihdeena.

How is the reference to dogs in Surah Al Kahf neutral ? It says in this surah that there were four men who were companions, and if the dog lieing outside guarding the cave was counted, there were 5. That is not neutral. It gives the status of a dog to another companion. The dog in this story is counted as a human. It's a beautiful addition to the factual narration. Beautiful.

Some of us are converts who come into contact with dogs frequently when visiting family (my situation). Some people have a need for guard dogs, especially in the US where crime is increasing. Some have need for disabilities, and there needs to be more understanding within the community at large for those people. I appreciate the details that he went into, and found some use from it.

Assalaam o Alaikum wa Rahmatullahe wa Barakatuhu to you my dear Brother Yassir and to your readers and viewers. Bissmillahe Rahmaan Nir Raheem. I am very much impressed with your lecture Br. Yassir on this very sensitive topic of Dogs. I commend you for bringing the Islamic injunctions concerning many topics that the average Muslim or person is very much unaware of. May ALLAH swt continue to bless you and your family with Steadfastness upon the Deen of ALLAH swt........Ameeeeeen. I am about to Critique your presentation with the intention to bring awareness to knowledge that you already know but may have not considered or may not know. The Ummah needs unity more than ever now that in its history. Dajjaal is attacking Ghuzzah ferociously and the word or tge concept of Dajjaal or Yajuj wa Majuj are Silent on the lips of the Scholars, except Imran Hosein. Remember we are to hold on to the Rope of ALLAH swt and NOT be DIVIDED............as the shaytaan wants us to be.........an audhubillah. Yassir!!!! The Islamic Shariah is NEVER SILENT on any matter in this world. You or another Islamic Scholar may be ignorant of the knowledge concerning a certain Topic, but ALLAH swt and Rasoolullah saws are NEVER Silent or are there are any GREY areas concerning anythjng in the life we lived in the Past or Living now or to Live in the future. Why do I make this Proclamation!!!! There are only 2 Deen operating in this World. 1. The Deen of ALLAH swt which is Islam. 2. Every single thing other than Islam is from the shaytaan or in his Deen.......remember shaytaan is God in disguise and ALLAH swt is NOT God......and tge deities the Kuffaars worship. Yassir!!! Rasoolullah saws prevented the Muslims that ate Garlic to pray in Jamaat because its sent is offensive to the Angels. Angels belong to Bil Ghayb = The Unseen World, just like Vampires as depicted in Hollywood Horror movies cannot enter into a home with Garlic hung on its widows or doors. So Yassir, to say that that Jibreel a.s. cannot come into the home only of Rasoolullah saws because of a dog in the house, and tge Recording Angels belonging to us Kiraman and Katibeen can be in our homes with a dog being present is a contradiction. Rasoolullah saws wants for the angels to visit the homes of tge Muslims, be in Laila Tul Qadr or not......so no dogs inside of the house of a Muslim. Kiraman and Katibeen are our Recording angels on our shoulders......so they are with us regardless of a dog present or not, but the Angels of Mercy or who witness or Salaah are prevented from entering into homes because of a dog being present in the house. Rasoolullah saws is Rahmatulilah Alameen = sent by ALLAH swt as a Mercy to all of the Worlds. So yes, when we show kindness to animals and dogs we are exercise a fraction of the Mercy that ALLAH dwt has given to us. Dogs are not supposed to be inside the home of a Muslim. Outside of the house s a watch or Guard dog, yes this is ok. Concerning pictures. Angels do not enter into homes where the eyes of the animated creations of ALLAH swt are present. Just like the Dajjaal 1 eye image is Repulsive to us Muslims, so too, to the angels. Rasoolullah saws said concerning the Black dog is shaytaan. This is why in movies which are from the Deen of the Shaytaan the Black Dog is Glorified. Check out the movies of Black Doberman Pincher dogs. Check out the Music video for the song 'Frozen' by Madonna. Check out the Music video by Michael Jackson's song 'Black and White'......he uses a Black Panther and shape shifts like a Jinn to and from the Panther. So my dear Yassir, my beloved brother, you were schooled from the Universities of Makkah or Medina which will NOT teach you correctly, because they too were given permission to operate from the 1st Headquarters of Dajjaal which is England........so The blessed descendent of Rasoolullah saws, Imam Al Mahdi is coming to destroy them. NEVER, EVER again utter those words that our Shariah is Silent on a particular Matter. ALLAH has Perfected and Completed this Deen of Islam. Its PERFECT, and addresses every single issue we have. And only ALLAH swt knows Best. Ameeeeeeeeeeen.
