Does a hunting dog prevent the angels from entering the house?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does the angels' refusal to enter a house that contains a dog include a hunting dog?

Answer:
No, it does not include it. This refers to a dog that is not permitted, as mentioned in the previous lesson. As for dogs that are permitted and images that are permitted, they do not prevent [the angels from entering]. Despicable images do not prevent the angels from entering. For this reason, Jibril said:
Make two cushions from itاجعل منه وسادتين
And Jibril entered when she made the curtain into a cushion. Likewise, the dog that is not permitted is the one that prevents [them], whereas the permitted dog, such as a hunting dog, a livestock dog, or a farm dog, does not prevent [them]; because it is permitted.
