Is it permissible in Islam to keep a dog at home or office?
Answer :
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh. It is permissible to keep a dog for security reasons or for hunting. It is not permissible to keep a dog as a pet. And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best Abdul Hannan Nizami, Student Darul Iftaa Chicago, USA Checked and Approved by, Mufti Ebrahim Desai.
Clarification The Darul Iftaa has received queries regarding Mufti Ebrahim Desai Saheb’s teaching and affiliation with Madrassah In’aamiyya, Camperdown. The confusion is probably due to the previous Fatawaa of Mufti Ebrahim Desai Saheb issued under the name of Darul Iftaa, Madrassah In’aamiyyah, Camperdown. Mufti Ebrahim Desai Saheb has resigned from Madrassah In’aamiyya two years ago and has no affiliation with Madrassah In’aamiyya, Camperdown. Mufti Saheb has established Darul Iftaa in Durban that facilitates for post-Ulama courses and training Mufti’s. He teaches Bukhari Shareef and Tirmidhi in Darul Uloom Nu’maniyyah: Email: arkhanar@telkomsa.net
