Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on keeping a dog for the purpose of hunting, given that I rarely go hunting for that reason?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it, if the dog is trained and kept for hunting. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted a dispensation for this for the sake of guarding or hunting.
