Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the black dog to be killed in all cases? And is this action obligatory?

Answer:
The black dog breaks the prayer; the black, pure-colored dog. The dog that is to be killed is the vicious one. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Five things are to be killed in the state of ihram and in the state of non-ihram, and among them is mentioned the vicious dog.خمس يقتلن الحل والحرم وذكر منهن الكلب العقور
As for the black dog, I do not know that it is to be killed. What is reported is that it breaks the prayer. Three things break the prayer: the dog, the woman, and the donkey. The black, pure-colored dog means the one that is entirely black, with no other color in it. Yes.
