Are Muslims able to keep dogs?

It depends. Many Muslims believe a dog is an unclean animal, and the saliva of a dog can spread disease. The Qur'an says a Muslim may keep a dog for farming or for herding, and a dog may be kept as a service dog for a blind person. But traditional Muslims do not believe a dog should be kept as a pet. On the other hand, Muslims are not allowed to be cruel to a dog: they may pet it and also give it food. It should also be noted that not all Muslims agree with the ban on having a dog as a pet. Some Muslims who are not from conservative traditions believe it is okay to have a pet, as long as the dog is kept outside and as long as the believer washes if he or she comes in contact with the dog's saliva.
