Arabic text

63 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا شَرِبَ الْكَلْبُ فِي إِنَاءِ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلْيَغْسِلْهُ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ»

Commentary

Based on this Hadīth, if a dog licks a dish (the term used in the Hadīth above is “Walagh”, which denotes the act of licking up), both the dish and its contents become impure. Hence, the contents must be thrown away, and the dish must be washed seven times.
