Keeping a dog to guard a person or a house

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to keep a dog for the purpose of guarding a person, or guarding a house?

Answer:
This contradicts the evidence. We do not add anything to what came in the hadith; we do not add to what came in the hadith, which is for a crop, livestock, or hunting. We do not say guarding the house, because the house has a fortress of doors and locks and does not need it. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
