1487. Ibn ‘Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Whoever keeps a dog” - or: “acquires a dog” – “neither for hunting nor to guard livestock, then two Qirāṭ[1] are deducted from his reward, daily.” (Ṣaḥīḥ) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from ‘Abdullāh bin Mughaffal, Abū Hurairah, and Sufyān bin Abī Zuhair. [Abū ‘Eisā said:] The Ḥadīth of Ibn ‘Umar is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Ḥadīth. And it has been reported that the Prophet ﷺ said: “or a farm dog.”

١٤٨٧ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ ‌أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ ‌نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنِ اقْتَنَى كَلْبًا -أَوِ اتَّخَذَ كَلْبًا-» لَيْسَ بِضَارٍ وَلَا كَلْبَ مَاشِيَةٍ نَقَصَ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قِيرَاطَانِ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَسُفْيَانَ بْنِ أَبِي زُهَيْرٍ. حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عُمَرَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أَوْ كَلْبَ زَرْعٍ.

Commentary

The angels of mercy hate dogs and do not enter that house where there are dogs. As a result, the resident of the house is deprived of the blessings of Allāh. Therefore, keeping dogs in houses without a genuine cause should be avoided.
