Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is there a difference, or what is the difference, between the impurity of the donkey and the impurity of the dog?
Answer:
There is no difference between them; both are ritually impure in themselves. However, if the dog is dry and does not transfer anything to you, there is no harm in merely touching it while it is dry, or if it passes by you and touches your body without anything transferring to you; there is no harm in that, and it has no effect. Yes.
