The questioner : He says:The questioner : I have a number of sheep and goats, along with two dogs. These two dogs are trained for guarding. However, they sometimes drink with the sheep and goats and lap at the water... What is the ruling on this, given that the water is stagnant in a pool?
The Shaykh : Yes. It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he ordered the vessel to be washed seven times, one of which with soil, if a dog lapped in it. But large pools are not affected by a dog lapping in them. So if these are large pools—I mean large ponds—it does no harm for the dogs to drink from them, and for the sheep to drink from them as well, and for people to purify themselves with it, because this is not like vessels in which a dog’s lapping has an effect. Yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : Yes. Peace be upon you.
