Is it obligatory for me to wash my hands with water and earth if I greet someone who touched a dog?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it obligatory for me to wash my hands with earth and water if I greet a person who touched a dog?

Answer:
No, touching a dog is not a concern. The concern lies in its urine and its saliva if it drinks from a vessel. As for the dog itself, if it passes by, or if you touch it, or if it steps on something, this does not make the place ritually impure. Yes.
