If a dog touches a Muslim it nullifies the state of Wudu which a person has after they perform his/her ablutions in preparation for prayer, and any part of the clothes touched by a dog need to be washed first. Also, a Muslim has to start a prayer over again if a dog crosses in front of him/her. But as far as I know, it's not a sin in Islam to be in the same room as a dog.

No. Only under extreme circumstances where they fear crime and feel it is essential to have a dog for security.

No they don't because they pray, and believe that a dog will ruin the preparation for praying because they have to be clean. They go through ozzo which is a process of cleaning before prayer, and a dog in the house is not clean.

Yes. A Moslem can own a dog and maintain it, but the animal must remain outside of the house at all times. Dogs are considered dirty animals and can contaminate a person if they are not careful.

As Muslims, touching dogs requires you to clean the touched cloth and to make ablution (Wudu) before praying. However, Muslims are required to treat all animals, including dogs, kindly. One prostitute was thanked by God and accepted her in His Paradise for offering water to a thirsty dog.


Why don't muslims like dogs?

Muslims don't hate dogs. They use them for security and hunting purposes and for tracing crime evidences. It is mentioned by prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that a prostitute was forgiven and entered the Paradise because she offered water to a dog that was thirsty and on verge to die. However, they avoid dogs in areas of praying and/or to be touched before praying because dogs are considered unclean (najis) and when dogs are in the home the angels don't enter the home.

Do muslims eat dog?

AnswerYes, Muslims can touch dogs. Nowhere in the Quran is touching or owning dogs forbidden. Some believe that dogs are unclean and should not be kept indoors, but can still be kept as guard dogs, sheep dogs, hunting dogs, guide dogs, etc.AnswerIt may appear in their society that they cannot touch dogs due to their religion. This is in fact incorrect. If you actually study the Quran (their bible) it in fact states nothing about the ability to not touch or pet dogs in any way. Therefore we can take from this, that this is how the society has developed over time. So one person may not have liked dogs and said it was in the Quran to avoid any disturbance. This then passed through the generations until many, many Muslims believe that they cannot touch dogs.they can lol :)I am a Muslim and we are allowed to touch dogs, however we have to wash our hands every time we touch them.
