What if someone says they take the Maliki ruling to keep a dog in
their apartment? That's not the Maliki ruling. It's not allowed.
Many people think it is not. It is just not allowed. But he said to
me, Zainul Clara when he specifies, we're not allowed to
take a dog as a friendly pet. In the house, you can take a dog as a
shepherd dog, he you can love him as much as you want. You can hug
him because his slave is not nervous.
If he's a shepherd dog, if he's your guard dog, let's say you're
I'm living in a bad area and I need to guard dog outside the
house, outside the house. Let's say you are a guy, I love my dog
so much. He's not going to come in the house. Fine. I'm going to
build him the nicest shed, and I'm gonna heat it up for him. Okay,
and I'm gonna go and I'll clean the blankets out myself. That's up
to you. I don't know, son.
But to have a dog in the home as a pet is forbidden. Because angels
don't come into the house. Why don't angels not come into the
house? If you had a cockroach in your bed? You wouldn't go in the
bed. Right? Why? What is so inherently the issue? With the
exoskeleton of a cockroach? You just don't like it? Right? If I
tell you there's a little rat
somewhere in the bed? Are you going to come in the bed? No, of
course not. You don't like we human beings hate cockroaches by
nature. Allah created us that way. If I told you that there's a bunny
rabbit in the house. You're not going to care so much, right? It
doesn't bother me. If I told you there's a cat in the bed. A kitten
in the bed. A cat. I'm not going to be bothered. I'll sleep all
night. But you told me there's a rodent? Now it's a different
story. Why? What's the difference? It's the same biological material,
the shape? The smell. The habits. Make you disgusted. Likewise, meta
eco. Whether you like it or not. They don't like dogs. I hate to
break it to you. Right? You love dogs don't. Okay, so but we need
them in the house. We want them in the house. All right.
So because they're so important to be in the house as a Muslim, the
prophets I sent him forbade us for having dogs in the house. It's in
the result of him Navy SEAL Caroni. So as a result of that,
how do you bring the two together? No problem. You can have a shed.
The dog never enters the house. But there's another thing too, is
forbidden for a Muslim to waste time merely playing with a dog.
Now you walk the dog fine. Give the dog a hug. No problem.
Take the dog maybe you know to get some exercise, no problem but to
be playing with the dog the prophesy centum said you will lose
two hills of your good deeds. Good. Why wastage of time with the
dog is discouraged. Okay, we should say it's discouraged. They
say you've spent all day with the dog. And now the dog has become
such a bigger part of your life than
the regular shepherd or a guard dog that would we you're now
entering the realm of discouragement at this point.
Alright, so that's the answer to the dog. I personally, some dogs,
I can understand why people love them so much. Right? But we have a
religion and we have guidance who have to submit to it. He's not
allowed to come in the house.
And I'm not going to spend hours upon hours or even 3040 50 minutes
every single day with the doc right?
And the the urine and the deification of a dog's nudges.
Okay.
So be careful where you're in. It's because that's not just it's
not like a duck
or a sheep or a goat. Where the defecation and urine of those
herbivores is not niches Okay, so just keep that keep that in mind.
service dogs? Yes, you may have one that the home becomes a
question at that point. I don't know. I mean, you don't need one.
How many blind people in the world have existed without a blind dog?
Right? So keep it in the garage keep it in it have a nice shed in
the garage heated everything. Okay.
But just don't bring him in house. Okay, and then what else about
about the dog How about the depression dogs
that's not one of the things that's going to break the the way
that we the rulings on this things I used to says How would you
advise a girl who was broken up with her fiance, who was with her
for three years and changes
