- It is not permissible for a Muslim to keep a dog except in the cases that have been excluded.
- Keeping dogs is prohibited due to the numerous harm and evil consequences associated with it. It is authentically reported from the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) that angels do not enter a house that contains a dog. Additionally, dogs carry an intense impurity that can only be removed by repeated washing with water and dust.
