Sadaqah on Animals<br />

The Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, is reported to have said: "While a man was walking along a road, he became<br />

very thirsty and found a well. He lowered himself into the well, drank, and came out. Then [he saw] a dog protruding its<br />

tongue out with thirst. The man said: 'This dog has become exhausted from thirst in the same way as I.' He lowered himself<br />

into the well again and filled his shoe with water. Then he took the dog by the mouth until he had raised himself. He gave the<br />

dog some water to drink. He thanked Allah, and [his sins were] forgiven." They asked: "O Messenger of Allah, upon whom be<br />

peace! Is there a reward for us in our animals?" He said: "There is a reward in every living thing." This is related by al-Bukhari<br />

and Muslim.<br />

The two also related that the Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, said: "While a dog was walking around a well, his<br />

thirst was near to killing him. One of the prostitutes of the Banu Isra'il saw him. She took off her shoe and drew water for him<br />

with it in order to quench his thirst. [For that] she was forgiven [by Allah]."<br />

Al-Muwatta Hadith<br />

Hadith 31.68<br />

Selling dogs<br />

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abu Bakr ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Harith ibn Hisham from Abu Masud<br />

al-Ansari that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbade the sale price of a dog, the earnings<br />

of a prostitute and the earnings of a fortune teller.<br />

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith<br />

Hadith 4102 Narrated by<br />

Abdullah ibn Mughaffal<br />

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Were dogs not a species of creature I should command that they all be killed; but kill<br />

every pure black one."<br />

AbuDawud and Darimi transmitted it. Tirmidhi and Nasa'i added, "No family attaches itself to a dog without a qirat of their<br />

good deeds being deducted daily, except in the case of a hunting dog, a farm dog, or a sheepdog."<br />

Fiqh-us-Sunnah<br />

Fiqh 1.6a<br />

Water left in a pot after a pig or dog has drunk from it<br />

Such water is considered impure and must be avoided. Al-Bukhari and Muslim have recorded, on the authority of Abu<br />

Hurairah, that the messenger of Allah said, "If a dog drinks from one of your containers, wash it seven times." Ahmad and<br />

Muslim also have this addition, "Cleanse one of your containers if a dog licks it by washing it seven times, the first washing<br />

being with dirt." As for the leftover water of a pig, it is clearly considered filth and impure.<br />

Sunan of Abu-Dawood<br />

Hadith 4146<br />

Narrated by<br />

The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Gabriel (peace be upon him) came to me and said: I came to you last night<br />

and was prevented from entering simply because there were images at the door, for there was a decorated curtain with<br />

images on it in the house, and there was a dog in the house. So order the head of the image which is in the house to be cut<br />

off so that it resembles the form of a tree; order the curtain to be cut up and made into two cushions spread out on which<br />

people may tread; and order the dog to be turned out. The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) then did so. The dog<br />

belonged to al-Hasan or al-Husayn and was under their couch. So he ordered it to be turned out.<br />

Sahih Muslim Hadith<br />

Hadith 5246 Narrated by<br />

Aisha<br />

Gabriel (peace be upon him) made a promise with Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) to come at a definite hour; that<br />

hour came but he did not visit him. And there was in his hand (in the hand of Allah's Apostle) a staff. He threw it from his hand<br />

and said: Never has Allah or His messengers (angels) ever broken their promise. Then he cast a glance (and by chance)<br />

found a puppy under his cot and said: Aisha, when did this dog enter here ? She said: By Allah, I don't know. He then<br />

commanded and it was turned out. Then Gabriel came and Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said to him: You<br />

promised me and I waited for you, but you did not come, whereupon he said: It was the dog in your house which prevented<br />

me (to come), for we (angels) do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture.<br />

Al-Muwatta Hadith<br />

Hadith 54.13<br />

Concerning Dogs<br />

Malik related to me from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,<br />

said, "Whoever acquires a dog other than a sheepdog or hunting dog, will have two qirats deducted from the reward of his<br />

good actions every day."<br />

Malik related to me from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,<br />

ordered dogs to be killed.<br />
