The Shaykh : It is not permissible to kill dogs merely because they are dogs, for they are a creation of Allah, and the Lawgiver has not permitted their killing unless their harm is established. This is based on his (peace and blessings be upon him) saying:Sunan Abi Dawud 2845Sahih (Al-Albani). Pure black, meaning black in color. And it came in some hadiths: . Therefore, it is not permissible to kill dogs; this is the general rule. However, if a rabid dog is confirmed—for example, one that bites and causes harm—then it is to be killed, because it is permissible in the Shari'ah to kill anything that causes harm.
