Is it permissible to touch a dog?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: Is it permissible to touch a dog if it is in the house?

Answer:
Touching a dog. Yes, there is nothing wrong with touching it, provided it is dry; there is nothing wrong with touching it, as long as nothing from its saliva or urine sticks to you. As for merely touching it while it is dry, there is no harm in that.
