Is it obligatory for one who touches the head or skin of a dog to wash his hand seven times?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it necessary for one who touches the head of a dog, or touches its skin, to wash his hand seven times?

Answer:
No, if the dog is dry and he touches it, there is nothing wrong. If it is wet, he washes his hand with a normal wash. Seven times is required if the dog licks the vessel and its saliva enters the vessel and the water; that is the case.
