Raising dogs in the house and the father's responsibility for his son

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Abu Yusuf from Abha, please go ahead, Abu Yusuf. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings.

The Shaykh:
Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings.

The questioner:
My first question, O long-lived one: I have a son living on the third floor. This son raises dogs, and I tried with him with all my effort, and I stayed with him, but he did not stop. He keeps bringing them out. I want to see what the story is? Is he sinful or not? And what should I do?

The Shaykh:
If you have forbidden it.

The questioner:
I forbade it, I forbade it. My brother, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)

The Shaykh:
said. My brother, listen, may Allah guide you.
that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) had said: Angels do not enter the house in which there is a picture or a dogالنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال لا تدخل الملائكة بيتا فيه كلب ولا
Sahih Muslim 2106f, 2107a
Therefore, raising dogs in the house and keeping them in the house is a sin, and the angels do not enter that house. So you forbid him from that and you are severe with him in forbidding it, so that perhaps he will leave it and repent to Allah. If he does not do so and refuses, the house is yours, so you expel him from it and do not let him stay in it, because this is wrong and it is not permissible to let him stay in a house that you own. Yes.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good.

The presenter:
Okay, thank you, Shaykh.
