The Effect of Touching a Dog on the Ablution

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding touching a dog, or touching it, does it invalidate the ablution if the person is in a state of ritual purity?

Answer:
No, it does not invalidate the ablution. If the dog is dry, there is no harm in touching it. However, if it is wet or damp, he must wash his hand of that, and his ablution remains valid; it is not broken. This is merely a matter of avoiding ritual impurity. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
