Dog as pet

[ShiningStar]

@TLK

Thanks for great replies guys ..

although I respect everyone;s opnion, I like to share wordings of Mufti Ebrahim Desai

Jurists have stated that it is permissible to keep a dog for security purposes, farming and hunting.

off course one has to take care that the dog is kept outside the house

Bohat say musfti to quran main haram qarar diaay ki ijazat day detay hain.

Quran ya hadith main kaheen naheen kaha gia hai kay aap kisi mufti ko follow karain.
