Barking of Dogs and Seeing Jinn
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. We heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that when dogs bark, it is because they have seen a jinn. Is the jinn referred to here the jinn?
Answer:
I do not know this. What I know is that when a donkey brays, it has seen a shaytan. As for the claim that dogs do not bark except when they see a shaytan, I do not know that. Dogs bark when they see a stranger, or see a predator, or see something that intends, for example, to prey on some of the wealth. They are a protection; dogs protect people's wealth and protect people's affairs. Allah has made them so. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
