Does a Muslim have to pay compensation for killing another person's dog?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : We consider the name to be "raising" (tadbir). His dog.

Answer : The school of thought holds that there is no liability for dogs, because that which has no value in the Shari'ah is not liable for compensation due to destruction. However, the Imam may impose a discretionary punishment (ta'zir) for his aggression from a security standpoint. Is it possible? Why is it on you?
