Living with Disbelieving Parents Who Have a Dog

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I do not have a house, and I live with my parents, and they have a dog in the house, and they have not removed it. Does this detract from my reward, considering that my parents are disbelievers?

Answer:
Do not live with them unless they need you. If they need you to serve them, live with them for the sake of serving them. The right of dutifulness to parents is not dropped because of the presence of the dog, and the sin is upon them.
So you, and if they do not need you, you can live in a house outside of theirs, but you serve them and visit them. And the disbeliever, may Allah protect us from that, is obsessed with dogs; they are obsessed with dogs because they are dogs in themselves, so they do not shy away from dogs, may Allah protect us from that. As for dogs, they can be better than them, so it is said that there was a family who had a daughter who slept in a room they had designated for her. When she grew up and reached maturity, they said, "Get out of the room; we want it for the dog." So they took her out of the house, out of their house, because of the dog. Yes.
