Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on keeping a pure black dog for guarding?
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the killing of the pure black beast, because it is a devil. It is not permissible to keep it. Yes.
The questioner:
And he says: Are foxes and dogs to be killed absolutely?
The Shaykh:
The harmful one is killed; the harmful one among them is killed, but the one that is not harmful is not killed. Yes.
