Why can't Muslims have dogs as pets?

Sohail | 13 years ago

I recently tweeted this question:

I got mixed answers..

Is it a sin?? People say that having a dog IN the house takes all the "Burqutt" away?? Or "Rehmat Ka Farishta" can't come??

Thanks!

I think it's simply due to hygienic reasons... dogs slobber all over the place & have various other problems which can affect humans adversely... which is why Muslims have been, in some ways, restricted from allowing dogs inside their homes.

However, there's no harm in keeping them outside the home for security purposes.

I have heard that if dog is inside your home then angels cant visit your home. I have no idea about truth in this line However It is totally permissible to keep them outside your home for protection.

Yes, that line is correct. Dogs are Najis ul Ain, just like pigs. They should not be kept as pets inside one's house.

Although, for one's protection and security, one can keep a dog outside one's house.

That line is correct, the Angels or Mercy do not enter a house where there are dogs, as dogs are Impure.
