Why do Muslims Forbid Dogs?

Question

why do muslims forbid dogs. Pig yes i can understand, but whats wrong with dogs? They are the ones that saves our lifes..it saved mine.

Answer 1

Najasa refers to impure substances that Muslims must avoid and wash off after coming into contact with them. God says: Purify your raiment (74:4) and: God loves those who repent and who purify themselves (2:222).

Animals that die naturally (e.g., not killed in the Islamic manner) are impure, as is anything cut off a live animal. However, dead sea animals and those that have no flowing blood (e.g., bees and ants) are not impure and the urine, saliva, and blood of all animals whose meat is prohibited (not halal) are impure.

By the above standards dogs are considered impure. Any container that a dog has licked must be completely washed and sterilized. If a dog licks a pot that has dry food in it, what it touched and what surrounds it must be thrown away. would fall under the impure category.

Since dogs are considered impure in Islamic tradition, Muslims do not keep them as pets. (I guess you can say forbid them)

I hope this answered your question.

Forbid Dogs

Answer 3

Muslims consider dog as a unclean animal due to dog's saliva. Also, due to its certain habit (way to urinate, always hanging tongue out etc.) made the dog unclean as compared to cats.

However, for the sake of security and any other purpose dog can be raised and kept but due to presence of dog at home, angels do not enter in that area where dogs are kept.
