What is the reason, we cant kept Pet dog in our home ? --------------------------------------- Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 4.448 Narrated by Abu Talha I heard Allahs Messenger (saws) saying; Angels (of Mercy) do not enter a house wherein there is a dog or a picture of a living creature (a human being or an animal). Imam Muslim narrates in his Sahih that Allahs Messenger declared: If a dog licks your bowl, clean it seven times, first time with soil, and the other six with water. A dog is considered amongst the absolutely ‘najis’ or impure and filthy animals and the Messenger of Allah (saws) specifically forbade the believers to keep them as pets. Medical science today has determined the evil and harmful effect of a dog bite and its ever-dropping saliva, and Allah Alone Knows what other evil and harm this animal breeds with its faeces, urine, fur or hair discharge, the germs and ‘tics’ it discards, etc. At the time of Prophet, disinfection and sterilization were unknown. Nevertheless, Allahs Messenger recommends that a bowl licked by a dog be cleaned with soil. Today we know that soil is good antiseptic that contains such substances as tetracycline. The point to clarify here that only the dogs which are kept as domestic pets or as a display of fashion are forbidden for the believers; there is absolutely no harm if one keeps a dog for hunting, or a dog to guard its property, etc. Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 4102 Narrated by Abdullah ibn Mughaffal The Prophet (saws) said, No family attaches itself to a dog without a qirat (measure) of their good deeds being deducted daily, except in the case of a hunting dog, a farm dog, or a sheepdog. --------------------------------------- [Source: islamhelpline] --------------------------------------- Allah knows Best. ------------------------------------- May Allah reward you for viewing the note & sharing it with others.
