Angels not entering a house does not mean that the dog is NAJIS (impure)! This article is specifically regarding whether or not a dog is “pure” in the law. the angels not entering the house due to dogs does not mean that dogs are impure, if that were the case then having toilets in the houses & the masajid would also keep the angels away – they certainly do not!

My advice is to take this opinion of Imam Malik, and try and remove yourself from the environment. There are exceptions to having a dog as the scholars of Islam have mentioned, such as for hunting – a ruling mentioned within the Qur’an itself, and also the reason for protection has been mentioned by some. The scholars also mention the issue of blind lead dogs etc…

Salaam!
interesting article about dogs. However, I’m wondering how come you haven’t mentioned other hadith regarding dogs e.g. how angels won’t enter the house if there is a dog and that a person will lose some of his daily reward by keeping a dog. So even if they are clean surely it is still not good to keep one in the house?
What advice would you give to a new convert to islam who has a family dog in the house?

Masha’allah brother Umar I’m happy that you like the Maliki school (and hope that you find beauty in all four schools). From personal experience I have found the Maliki school full of benefit and immense blessing. Though I am not a Maliki and a simple student, I fiind that the Maliki school has opinions, especially the opinions of the school regarding dogs, that are great dispensations for the Ummah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (‘alayhis salam). As it was said by the Sunni scholars of old: The disagreement of the Ummah is a mercy! May Allah bless you and us and keep our hearts steadfast upon His religion Amin!
