Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Some wealthy people keep a dog in their home for the sake of guarding; is this permissible?
Answer:
Guarding is for livestock, where there is fear of thieves and wolves, and for a farm if it has produce that requires guarding. As for the house, it does not need a dog for guarding. The house is locked and its people are there, or a guard from among the workers is appointed; there is no need for a dog. Yes.
