Touching a dog's hair and keeping hunting dogs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We are a group of bird hunters, and we have hunting dogs. You know that a dog is ritually impure. Does touching a dog's hair with our hands make it ritually impure?
Answer:
As long as it is dry, it does not make it ritually impure. It is only if there is wet excrement on it; that is not permissible. That is ritually impure: the dog's saliva, its spittle, and its excrement are ritually impure. As for merely touching it while it is dry, there is no doubt about that. However, it should not be kept in the house; it should have a separate place. This is because it was reported in the hadithSunan Ibn Majah 3650Hasan (Darussalam). If he hunts with it, he should provide it with a separate place and not bring it into the house.

The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image.
أن الملائكة لا تدخل بيتا فيه كلب، ولا صورة
