Animals whose meat is not permissible to eat and from which it is difficult to guard oneself: Is their urine and dung considered absolutely not ritually impure?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, may Allah reward you. Regarding animals whose meat is not eaten and from which it is difficult to guard oneself, is their dung considered absolutely not ritually impure?

The Shaykh : Yes, that is right.

The questioner : Like dogs, for example?

The Shaykh : No, no, no. The dog, and even the cat. The cat’s urine and dung are ritually impure, even though the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
It is not unclean; it is one of those (males or females) who go round among you. إنها طاهر إنها من الطوافين عليكم
Sunan Abi Dawud 75Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani)
. The urine and dung of everything whose meat is not eaten are ritually impure; this is the original ruling. But if it is a small amount and it is difficult to guard against it, that is where the disagreement lies. Some scholars excused this, saying that it is a matter from which one cannot guard oneself. Yes.
