The Ruling on Keeping Dogs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
All right, please go ahead and ask the third question. My third question is about dogs. May Allah exalt you. I left them with the neighbors. After a few days, I will dig a well for them to drink from and leave them with the neighbors, as I have done before.
Answer:
Are these dogs for guarding, or what is your purpose in keeping them? If they are for guarding the farm, there is nothing wrong with that. However, if you are keeping dogs without need, that is not permissible. It is not permissible to keep dogs and bring them into the home, because this reduces your reward. Every day, two qirats of your reward are reduced. Yes. May Allah reward you. Or one qirat, yes.
