Islam and Dogs(animal)

Just to clarify earlier … The dog’s presence in the home prevents angels from entering … The reason why this is the case has not been mentioned … It would be wrong to conclude that they are frowned upon because they are dirty … But it is correct to frown upon them because they are dirty including the various negative ahadith about them … There are also positive references about them …

When mentioning the ruling of the image going as per the ruling of the object … It applies … So if the reason for the angels not entering a place where a dog is present is to do with the image of the dog then that applies … If it is to do with the real dog in his real dog like reality that prevents the angels then of course that instead would apply.

What the ruling is I am not claiming to know … I am only giving the rules as I have heard them.

We should not always seek out rational reasons for things in our faith … If we do, we will end up doing things in revolt and mostly be wrong about doing them. I was happily going to ignore this thread but I felt some people were beginning to get offended with the tone that was being used with the Hadith … Disagree with what they mean … fine … But to jest with them can be possibly dangerous for reason of Iman and it does hurt the sentiments of those who revere the sayings … Just a thought to be considered.

Psyah..my point has always been that hadeeth can explain something in religion, hadeeth can not add something. if pictures and dogs issue was that much of a part of islam then it would have just been spelled out.

so i dont know if this is worse, but i am no way shape or form making fun of the hadeeth. not at all…
However, I am stating that it is not as critical as it is being made out to be, or may be out of context..if it is true at all.
dont fault me for ridiculing it, fault me for not accepting it and accepting its interpretation and application.
