Advice for those who raise dogs inside their homes?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some of the young people, and this has become common in some places, raise dogs for purposes other than hunting inside their homes. Is there a word to say about that?

Answer:
Yes, these people imitate the disbelievers, because the disbelievers raise dogs and they mix with them in their homes and take pride in it. So these people imitate the disbelievers, because they believe that what the disbelievers do is perfection, progress, and advancement. They do not look at the prohibition of the Lawgiver regarding these matters. The dog carries diseases and it carries evil. The dog carries diseases and it carries evil. It is not permissible to bring it into the homes, and the angels do not enter a home in which there is a dog or an image. It is not permissible to bring them into the homes or to ride them in cars, except for dogs used for hunting, guarding, guarding sheep, or guarding crops. There is no harm in those. But they are not to be brought into the homes. Set aside a special place for it. Set aside a special place for it. Do not bring it into the homes, and do not let it drink from vessels, because he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
If a dog licks the vessel of any one of you, let him wash it seven timesإذا ولغ الكلب في إناء أحدكم فليغسله سبعا
As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 64:468
and let it lick the eighth or the first, or with the dirt. So this is not permissible. There is harm in it, and there is imitation of the disbelievers. Yes.
