Losing Good Deeds Everyday For Keeping A Dog
It is a misunderstanding that all Muslim scholars of the past consider having dog absolutely “Haram” except for three exceptions mentioned in hadith. Shafii, Hanafi and Hanbali scholars do not restrict keeping dog to only three exceptions as mentioned in the Hadith, they extend the scope of exceptions to other similar scenarios bringing some utility to the Muslim owner. They only consider those scenarios as Haram which do not bringing any utility. Maliki scholars however have a more lenient view and they only consider keeping dog as a pet without any reason as “Maqruh” (disliked) and not Haram.
