@TLK

The hadees did not imply that dogs are not allowed inside the quarters, it just says that angels are not going to enter if a junubi, a dog or a picture (of living being) is inside the house.

Unfortunately I know many many families, who will give you a long lecture about not having sa dog, while their whole house is full of family portraits.

Q1- does that apply to all angels? like the two taking notes of my deeds, will they have to sit outside the front door if there is a dog, pictures or a ‘southerner’ heh in the house? I mean that could be a really good thing for certain establishments…If you know what I mean

Q2- pictures of living things..what if it is a picture of charlie chaplin, he is not living

Q3- pictures of trees and plants are okay…they are living too?

Q4- if its a picture of a southerner dog, then its triple whammy right…I mean angels be like…yo, thats just over the top, thats ignorant habshi!!!

As for eating the meat that is hunted by dogs or the animals that one has trained for hunting is mentioned in Surah Maidah…and the scholars vary in their opinions about the consuming of food caught by dogs…there are some restrictions regarding it. I don’t consider them bringers of ill-fortune, but I am not an animal/pet person.

So quran allows it and scholars have differing opinions and interpretations. Based on some hadith I am sure, which then leads to the question, if there are conflicting hadeeth on such a topic, then one of them has to be wrong …right?..or maybe more than one have to be wrong…technically, all of the scholars can be wrong.
