Keeping a guard dog in the home
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: The Shaykh, may Allah keep you safe, is an elderly man who has a guard dog for his home, as the house is located on the edge of the village, meaning it is a little distance from the other houses in the village. He is afraid of thieves, and so he kept that dog to alert him if it becomes aware of these thieves.
Answer:
A dog is not to be kept in houses. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not permit keeping a dog except for hunting or for guarding crops, guarding farms, a hunting dog or a dog for guarding livestock or guarding crops. As for houses, do not keep dogs in them. The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image. Yes.
