The ruling on water that dogs have drunk from along with sheep
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
My brother has a flock of sheep, and he is afraid of them being stolen, so he kept three dogs for guarding, and they drink
The Shaykh:
He kept
The questioner:
He kept three dogs for guarding, and they drink from the same water that the sheep drink from. The question is: What is the ruling on the water? Is it considered impure? And what is the ruling on drinking the milk or eating the meat of these sheep?
The Shaykh:
As for a large amount of water, the drinking of a dog does not affect it. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about water in the desert and the wild beasts that visit it? He said: If the water is large, it is not affected.

لها ما شربت، ولنا ما بقي،
