lumberton and a muslim and a dog;

 

 Hadiths (sayings of the Prophet Muhammad) form the basis for the common prohibition: Multiple authentic narrations state that keeping a dog (except for specific utility purposes) causes a daily loss of good deeds (one or two qiraat, a large unit of reward). For example: “Whoever keeps a dog, except a dog for hunting, herding livestock, or farming, one or two qiraats will be deducted from his good deeds every day.” Angels are also said not to enter a house containing a dog (or images/statues). Dog saliva is considered ritually impure (najis), requiring vessels to be washed multiple times if licked ............see...........
