67. It was narrated from 'Abdullâh bin Al-Mughaffal that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ commanded that dogs be killed, but he made an exception for hunting dogs and sheepdogs and said: "If a dog licks a vessel then wash it seven times, and rub it the eighth time with dust." (Sahîh)
٦٧ - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى الصَّنْعَانِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُطَرِّفًا ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُغَفَّلِ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ الْكِلَابِ، وَرَخَّصَ فِي كَلْبِ الصَّيْدِ وَالْغَنَمِ، وَقَالَ: إِذَا وَلَغَ الْكَلْبُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ فَاغْسِلُوهُ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَعَفِّرُوهُ الثَّامِنَةَ بِالتُّرَابِ».

1. To keep dogs for hunting or for guarding animals is a necessity. Hence, Islamic law permits the keeping of such dogs. Nonetheless, these types of dogs may not be kept inside houses. As for cattle-guarding dogs, they should be kept in a cattle pen; and as for hounds that are meant for hunting and for the protection of harvests, they should be kept on farms. 2. Plain purifying earth expels the traces of impurity and acts as a bactericide. Bacteria are not removed by water - even though, when water is used, the impurity of a dog's saliva is ostensibly removed. Therefore, besides water, it is necessary to use purifying earth at least once.
