What should I do if I have a picture in my house and I have a dog? And does angel Gab

[Nitro Zeus]

My Christian mother bought me a dog so that I can learn to have responsibilities while she thinks that I’m not responsible. So in that case will the angels come to my house if I have a dog with this condition?

Oh, and I have a picture of Jesus Christ in my room and a mother picture of mother Marie, and a picture of myself of when I was baby, but still I do not worship non of these pictures, in fact, I do not worship no one and nothing except God Almighty. And I did not decided to buy this pictures, it was in my room, I guess before I was born.

So, in my case will angels of mercy will enter my room? And I can simply put a cover on these pictures as if I put the blanket on me? I’m thinking like this because, if I cover them as I cover myself before I go to sleep, then the angels will not be able to see if there’s a picture or not, this my strategy how call the angels to my room.

What should I do with these pictures? Shall I simply give to someone? Or, to put a cover to them as I cover myself with a blanket before going to sleep? And do they( angels) come to my room, if I have this dog as pet with condition of learning to be responsible?

And, does angel Gabriel visits everyone’s house and visit ever single person just like he visited prophet Muhammad?

Because, my wish is, to come all angels in my house and do they even protect me from devil?
I mean, do they( angels) kick devil’s ass out from my house?

Out of curiosity.

Hello,

Angel Gabriel does not visit people. Every angel has his own tasks...they are not equal to each other. So Angel Gabriel has other tasks to do than to visit people.
Besides, Angels are not restricted by Earthly matter. Blanket or no blanket, wall or no wall, door or no door will not restrict angel or devil from coming to your room.
The blanket you want to put over the images is not for the angels...it is for you and for humans around you. It is for you so that you do not pray towards these images...or...during your prayer to prevent thatfor others it appears like you praying towards those images.

I do not know about the dog. I did heard that Angels won't come nearby you if there is a dog around...so if you are not attached to the dog, I suggest you give it away...or back to your parents. If you cannot get rid of the dog, then try to find at least a room where the dog is not allowed to come. use that room to pray.
I do not have better advise for you than this...sorry.

Besides, sorry to say this, but I think your mother needs some education on responsibility herself. You do not buy someone a dog just to teach him something about responsibility. a dog is a living creature, not some experimenting material.

[talibilm]

:sl:

The hadith refers to Angels of Mercy who are with believers when they are in their salah and also say ameen in our sura fathiha, so they do not enter a room with a picture or a Dog is seen in hadith.

But angels of torment or Israeil AS or such Angels who plucks Souls will come to any one even if he has a million pictures or images , not to forget the account recording angels Munkar, Nakir are always with us writing our virtues and sins.

Its said Gibraeil AS ascends on important occasions like laylatul Qadr . Allah knows the best.

But why they don’t come when there’s a picture or dog? Do they hate dogs? Because, they are also living things.

[Nitro Zeus]

Oooo, I think I understand.

If I have my dog in my house, because, I’d like to have a pet to be my companion, then the angels of mercy will come as long as, I keep the dog out from the place where I start to pray, and the good deeds will not be diminished. But, if I keep my dog in the place where I start to pray, then the angels of mercy will not come to my house and, one good deed will be canceled just because I let my dog near me while I’m praying. Am I right?

[ahmed.younes]

Your situation is a tough one.. I would tell you to get rid of the dog, and the pictures immediately, but it is also important to keep your mother happy in Islam so I don't know how to strike a balanced approach here...

Firstly, don't let the dog lick you, and you shouldn't pet it except on its head (where it can't lick itself), 2ndly try to have a room or a corner for prayer, which your dog cannot reach, and lastly makes lots of dua

P.S keep covering the photos if you can't get rid of them or transport them to another room, because it is shirk, and shirk is the biggest sin in islam. may allah protect us

[Nitro Zeus]

Shirk?? I didn’t know that, I always thought that shirk is one someone associate anything or anybody with God, and that is shirk. But, pictures? I pray where I cannot look at the pictures, because they are separated, not in front of me, and I haven’t been disturbed because of them, because I keep them away, and I hame made a statue for the first time in my life, and I felt proud of this success that I managed to accomplish it, but it wasn’t as I expected to be, because, I wanted to make a statue of a Roman emperor or, I don’t know what kind of statue, but anyway, few days later, my work has been ruined and turned as a ruin, and then I kept for several days later hoping that I can fix it, but, unfortunately, I wasn’t able to fix it, and I had this statue in front of me, then, I started to pray, and when I started to have bad thoughts that I pray to the statue, I immediately, remove it from my face, and I have begun to pray normally, without being de concentrated by something. Ooo, now I know why God has said: Those who makes an image will be Punished severely, because so that we won’t get deconcentrated during the prayer, and to focus clearly, maybe that’s why. And besides that, I had no intention of imitating God, because, simply, I have no power to imitate Him, and to me to imitate Him, it’s extremely impossible, to imitate Him, and I wound’d have any intention to imitate Him nor to pray anyone besides Him. I will always pray to God as Muslim do, and I would never ever pray to anyone except to Him.

What??? What do you mean by “don’t you have anything better to do?” What? I can’t ask about Islam?? Is this bad to ask about Islam? And, I am not a troll, what makes you think “I’m a troll”? Of course, I’m not a troll.... if I can’t ask about Islam, then why everyone is asking about Islam, and I can’t ask??

[Scimitar]

Oooo, I think I understand.

If I have my dog in my house, because, I’d like to have a pet to be my companion, then the angels of mercy will come as long as, I keep the dog out from the place where I start to pray, and the good deeds will not be diminished. But, if I keep my dog in the place where I start to pray, then the angels of mercy will not come to my house and, one good deed will be canceled just because I let my dog near me while I’m praying. Am I right?

Partly.

Your whole house is a sanctuary for you, your parents, your family, guests - but not dogs. Dogs are impure creatures - The saliva of a dog is impure. The dog will lick its private parts and then attempt to lick other parts of your home, which basically make your whole home impure because your home is one place comprised of chambers. The Angels of Mercy will not visit a place which is impure.

What is permissible is - putting a dog in a kennel outside the home. And only then, if it is absolutely necessary for your protection!!!

Here are a few advices about dogs in Islam:

Islam forbids Muslims to keep dogs, and the punishment for that is that the one who does that loses one or two qiraats from his hasanaat (good deeds) each day. An exception has been made in the case of keeping dogs for hunting, guarding livestock and guarding crops.

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever keeps a dog, except a dog for herding, hunting or farming, one qiraat will be deducted from his reward each day.” Narrated by Muslim, 1575.

It was narrated that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever keeps a dog, except a dog for herding livestock or a dog that is trained for hunting, two qiraats will be deducted from his reward each day.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5163; Muslim, 1574.

Is it permissible to keep a dog to guard houses?

Al-Nawawi said:

There is a difference of opinion as to whether it is permissible to keep dogs for purposes other than these three, such as for guarding houses and roads. The most correct view is that it is permissible, by analogy with these three and based on the reason that is to be understood from the hadeeth, which is necessity. End quote.
Sharh Muslim, 10/236

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

Based on this, if a house is in the middle of the city there is no need to keep a dog to guard it, so keeping a dog for this purpose in such situations is haraam and is not permitted, and it detracts one or two qiraats from a person’s reward every day. They should get rid of this dog and not keep it. But if the house is in the countryside and there is no one else around, then it is permissible to keep a dog to guard the house and the people who are in it; guarding the members of the household is more important than guarding livestock or crops. End quote.

Majmoo’ Fataawa Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 4/246

So, if it's not necessary that you have a dog, then it's better that you don't! Because it would be haraam!


Secondly:

With regard to the words of the questioner, “keeping a dog is naajis”. This is not exactly correct, because the najaasah (impurity) is not in the dog itself, rather it is in its saliva when it drinks from a vessel. If a person touches a dog or a dog touches him, that does not mean that he has to purify himself, whether with soil or water. But if a dog drinks from his vessel, then he has to throw away the water and wash it seven times with water and the eighth time with soil, if he wants to use it. If he makes it just for the dog then he does not have to purify it.

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The purification of the vessel of one of you, if a dog licks it, is to wash it seven times, the first time with soil.” Nararted by Muslim, 279.

And according to another report by Muslim (280): “If a dog licks the vessel of one of you, let him wash it seven times and rub it with soil the eighth time.”

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

With regard to dogs, there are three views among the scholars:

1 – That they are taahir (pure), even their saliva. This is the view of Maalik.

2 – That they are naajis (impure), even their hair. This is the view of al-Shaafa’i and is one of the two views narrated from Ahmad.3 – Their hair is taahir but their saliva is naajis. This is the view of Abu Haneefah and of Ahmad in the other report narrated from him. This is the most correct view (3rd view). So if the wetness of the dog’s hair gets onto one’s garment or body, that does not make it naajis. End quote.

Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 21/530.

Elsewhere he said:

That is because the basic principle is that substances are taahir, and it is not permissible to regard anything as naajis or haraam without evidence, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“while He has explained to you in detail what is forbidden to you, except under compulsion of necessity?”

[al-An’aam 6:119]

“And Allaah will never lead a people astray after He has guided them until He makes clear to them as to what they should avoid”

[al-Tawbah 9:115]

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The purification of the vessel of one of you, if a dog licks it, is to wash it seven times, the first time with soil” – and in another hadeeth, “If a dog licks a vessel…” All of the ahaadeeth mention licking only; they do not mention any other part of the dog, regarding them as naajis is based only on analogy.

Moreover, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) granted a concession allowing people to keep dogs for hunting, herding and farming. The one who keeps them must touch the wetness of their hair, just as happens in the case of mules, donkeys, etc. To suggest that their hair is naajis when touching them cannot be avoided could impose undue hardship, which is not what the Lawgiver intended for this ummah.

Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 21/217, 218

To be on the safe side it is better, if a person touches a dog and there is something wet on his hand, or if there is something wet on the dog, to wash his hand seven times, one of which should be with soil. Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said:

With regard to touching this dog, if there is no wetness then it does not make the hand naajis, but if he touches it and there is any wetness, then this means that the hand becomes naajis according to the view of many scholars, and the hand must be washed after that seven times, one of which should be with soil. End quote.

Majmoo’ Fataawa Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 11/246.

You have to ask, is it worth this ??? the answer for any sane God fearing person is No! Better to avoid dogs altogether!

Thirdly:

With regard to the way in which purification from the najaasah of a dog is to be done,

What must be done is to wash off the najaasah of a dog seven times, one of which should be with soil. If soil is available then it must be used, and nothing else will do. If no soil is available, then there is nothing wrong with using some other cleaning agent such as soap.

Fourthly:

The diseases that people may get as the result of going against sharee’ah by kissing dogs or drinking from their vessels before purifying them are many, such as pasturella which is a bacterial disease, the cause of which exists naturally in the respiratory systems of humans and animals, but under certain circumstances this germ can invade the body and cause disease.

Another of these diseases is a parasitic disease that affects the intestines of humans and animals, and usually affects the liver and lungs, the abdominal cavity and the rest of the body.

This disease is caused by tapeworms, which are small worms 2-9 millimeters long, which are formed of three sections, a head and a neck; the head has four suckers.

The adult worms live in the intestines of their hosts, such as dogs, cats, crows and wolves.

This disease is transmitted to human who love dogs, when they kiss them or drink from their vessels.

See: Amraad al-hayawaanaat allati tuseeb al-insaan (Animal diseases that affect humans) by Dr. ‘Ali Ismaa’eel ‘Ubayd al-Snaafi.

Conclusion:

It is not permissible to keep dogs except for hunting or guarding livestock and crops, and it is permissible to keep them for guarding houses so long as that is outside the city and that there is no other means of guarding the house. The Muslim should not imitate the kuffaar by running with the dog or touching its mouth and kissing it, which causes many diseases.

Praise be to Allaah for this pure and perfect sharee’ah, which came to set people’s spiritual and worldly affairs straight, but most people do not realize.

And Allaah knows best.

Oh, so the angels of mercy will come as long as I clean after my dog and put him somewhere? And after I clean myself from saliva before the prayer starts? And only when the prayer is over, then I can let my dog in? But the only thing is, it is not preferable to keep it as a pet? Because, I really love my dog, and I do take a good care of it, and when the praying time has come, then I move him away from the place I pray and this is after I have cleaned the area and myself from saliva and so on. Because, I try to decipher the meaning of what Quran is telling. Will I also get rewarded if I do take care of my dog? Because, I feel he is part from my family, and when he is hearted, I give him a hug, and if he is sick, I take him to the doctor to cure him, and I do many good things for him, I treat him as if he is part from my family. And, I try to teach him the important things which every dog should know.

I agree with Sister herb, buy what if I move the picture of Jesus Christ and other pictures of me when I was small to another room and when the prayer comes, then I should take the dog outside from the room and start praying and then I can let him in? Or, it is better to give the dog to someone else? Will the angles come to my room if they will see that I have removed all pictures with me and picture of Jesus Christ? I have drawn also other things in past e.g. a picture about how the day of Judgment is on ancient Egypt and how they used to believe in it, and I have also drawn the face of Trump and other things. Do I have to throw them into the garbage? Because, it is my work and I’d like to keep them as a memory so that I can show to my future children what I have drawn in past. And plus, I’d like to keep these pictures that I made it, so that later can have a great value so that I may sale them and make some good money.

Shirk?? I didn’t know that, I always thought that shirk is one someone associate anything or anybody with God, and that is shirk. But, pictures? I pray where I cannot look at the pictures, because they are separated, not in front of me, and I haven’t been disturbed because of them, because I keep them away, and I hame made a statue for the first time in my life, and I felt proud of this success that I managed to accomplish it, but it wasn’t as I expected to be, because, I wanted to make a statue of a Roman emperor or, I don’t know what kind of statue, but anyway, few days later, my work has been ruined and turned as a ruin, and then I kept for several days later hoping that I can fix it, but, unfortunately, I wasn’t able to fix it, and I had this statue in front of me, then, I started to pray, and when I started to have bad thoughts that I pray to the statue, I immediately, remove it from my face, and I have begun to pray normally, without being de concentrated by something. Ooo, now I know why God has said: Those who makes an image will be Punished severely, because so that we won’t get deconcentrated during the prayer, and to focus clearly, maybe that’s why. And besides that, I had no intention of imitating God, because, simply, I have no power to imitate Him, and to me to imitate Him, it’s extremely impossible, to imitate Him, and I wound’d have any intention to imitate Him nor to pray anyone besides Him. I will always pray to God as Muslim do, and I would never ever pray to anyone except to Him.

Making statues or pictures is one of the biggest sins that will never be forgiven. According to a hadeeth of the prophet salla Allaho alaihi wa sallam: "the picture /statues makers will be ordered to put soul in the picture, as he/she will not be able to do so, they will be punished for ever." (Allah knows the best).


You being a Muslim made a statue. We consider you to be God-fearing but this act of yours indicate that you are not.

The angels do protect us. Read the following verses' translation and explanation about the angels relation with a mo'min (practicing Muslim):


(41:30) Those³² who say “Allah is our Lord” and then remain steadfast,³³ upon them descend angels³⁴ (and say): “Do not fear nor grieve,³⁵ and receive good tidings of Paradise which you were promised.

Exp. note 33:

33. That is, they did not call Allah their Lord merely incidentally, nor were they involved in the error to regard Allah as their Lord and at the same time others as well as their lords, but they embraced the faith sincerely and stood by it steadfastly: neither adopted a creed contrary to it later nor mixed it up with a false creed, but they fulfilled the demands of the doctrine of Tauhid in their practical lives as well.

“Then remain upright” has been explained by the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the eminent companions thus:
Anas has reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Many people called Allah their Lord, but most of them became disbelievers. Firm and steadfast is he who remained firm on this creed till his death. (Ibn Jarir, Nasai, Ibn Abi Hatim).
34. It is not necessary that the coming down of the angels may be perceptible, and the believers may see them with the eyes, or hear their voices with the ears. Although Allah also sends the angels openly for whomever He wills, generally their coming down for the believers, especially in hard times when they are being persecuted by the enemies of the truth, takes place in imperceptible ways and their voices penetrate into the depths of the heart as peace and tranquility instead of just striking the ear-drums. Some commentators have regarded this coming down of the angels as restricted to the time of death or grave, or the Plain of Resurrection. But if the conditions in which these verses were sent down are kept in view, there remains no doubt that the real object of stating this thing here is to mention the coming down of the angels on those who struggle with their lives in this world in the cause of the truth, so that they are consoled and encouraged and they rest assured that they are not helpless but the angels of Allah are at their back. Although the angels also come to receive the believers at the time of death and they also welcome them in the grave (in the state of burzakh), and they will also accompany them constantly on the Day of Resurrection, from the time Resurrection takes place till their entry into Paradise, yet their company is not particularly restricted to the Hereafter but remains available in this world also. The context clearly shows that in the conflict between the truth and falsehood just as the worshipers of falsehood are accompanied by the devils and mischievous people, so are the believers accompanied by the angels. On the one hand, the companions of the worshipers of falsehood show their misdeeds seem fair to them and assure them that the tyrannical and dishonest acts that they are committing are the very means of their success and through them only will their leadership and dominance remain safe in the world. On the other hand, the angels come down to the worshipers of the truth and give them the message that is being mentioned in the following sentences.



35. These are very comprehensive words, which contain a new theme of consolation and peace for the believers, in every stage of life, from the world till the Hereafter. This counsel of the angels in this world means: No matter how strong and powerful be the forces of falsehood, you should not be afraid of them, and whatever hardships and deprivations you may have to experience on account of your love of the truth, you should not grieve on account of them, for ahead there lie in store for you such things against which every blessing of the world is insignificant. When the angels say the same words at the time of death, they mean this: There is no cause of fear for you in the destination you are heading for, for Paradise awaits you there, and you have no cause of grief for those whom you are leaving behind in the world, for we are your guardians and companions here. When the angels will say these very words in the intermediary state between death and Resurrection and in the Plain of Resurrection, they will mean: Here, there is nothing but peace for you. Do not grieve for the hardships you had to suffer in the world, and do not fear what you are going to face in the Hereafter, for we are giving you the good news of Paradise, which used to be promised to you in the world. ************************************************** ************************************************** *********



(41:31) We are your companions in this world and in the Hereafter. There you shall have all that you desire and all what you will ask for.


(41:32) This is by way of hospitality from Him Who is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.”

I advised you so many times to start understanding the Holy Quraan but you never accepted my words. Remember that satan is a very bad and open enemy. Satan tries to attack ignorant people. The prophet (Final of the Prophets ) salla Allaho alayhi wa sallam told us that if we hold fast to the Quraan and Sunnah we will never go astray. So that is the condition, otherwise, you are in danger of straying. Too many strange questions are put by Satan into your mind and we are tired now from answering such questions. The only treatment is to understand the Holy Quraan with the Sunnah.

Al-Hamdulilah for forsaking that which you love to do for the sake of your Lord. Now going forward you cannot draw and paint anything especially pictures of what you think looks like Mary and her son for that would not be sincere in giving up what you like for the sake of Allah. And you can't use the rationale that indulging in that for your sisters sake because it gives precedence to your sister over your Creator. And there is no obedience to the creation in disobedience to the Creator. And Allah Knows Best.

And it is permissible to draw beings that does not exist?

Everything that looks like a human being, birds, insects etc are not permissible, be it a creature with a weird shape. Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The makers of these images will be punished on the Day of Resurrection, and they will be told, ‘Give life to that which you have created.’”

Correction. You cant draw lifeless pictures. https://islamqa.info/en/72915

Your situation is a tough one.. I would tell you to get rid of the dog, and the pictures immediately, but it is also important to keep your mother happy in Islam so I don't know how to strike a balanced approach here...

Firstly, don't let the dog lick you, and you shouldn't pet it except on its head (where it can't lick itself), 2ndly try to have a room or a corner for prayer, which your dog cannot reach, and lastly makes lots of dua

P.S keep covering the photos if you can't get rid of them or transport them to another room, because it is shirk, and shirk is the biggest sin in islam. may allah protect us

I’d like to share with you an information I learned. The thing is that keeping a photo might lead you to shirk only if you worship that phot then yes, it is shirk. But if one does not worship that photo it is no longer shirk, but only a sin. For more information, check Islamqa.

[Nitro Zeus]

Alright. I have managed to transport some of the pictures I have in my room. And my Christian mother just got home, and if she’ll see me that I transport the picture with me when I was baby somewhere, she’ll probably thinks I’m not correct in my head. If God See me that I try to transport the pics I have in my room step by step till I reach the final one, then He will right in the list of my good deeds as a good deeds? Or, I have to do all in the same day?

[ahmed.younes]

Hey brother, thanks for the information reply :)

When I said the picture is shirk, I did not mean you are committing shirk necessarily. I was being vague on purpose, but I didn't mean to make you think you are sinning... Just wanted you to know that it is dangerous to say the least, so sorry about that.
Nevertheless, it is best to stay away from things like this. I am sure you understand inshallah

Jazakallah

That’s ok. I think I have misunderstood it. Now I understand, thanx for clarification. May God reward you.

And how come some Muslims do have pictures with themselves in a living room?

That is wrong. Such actions of the Muslims should not be followed.

to the OP DONT PUT THE DEVILS PHOTOS IN YOUR ROOM AND KEEP THE DOG FAR AWAY...

BUT TREAT YOUR MOTHER KINDLY

[Ishaaq]

Photographs that are kept in album for memory are not coming under the category of prohibition, as long as they are not displayed like portraits. For example, your home will contain your passport, driver's license, and other ID documents that have a photograph of you, not to mention modern currency which contains images.

So this means that if I have the pictures with humans etc.. drawn, I can simply put into a folder and then forget about it? And also I can make a a picture of myself as a memory and then put into a folder? Because, I was thinking that it is much respectful if I put inside the folder or in file so that the angels won’t see it. Correct? Then like this, I won’t commit any longer this sin. I mean, it won’t be brought to account if I’m doing this, right?

Well I'm only talking about photographs here because there is some legitimate difference of opinion about whether snapping a photo is the same thing as image-making. Drawings and paintings of animate things are definitely forbidden and should be destroyed. But if you are unable to do that for whatever reason obviously its better to conceal them somewhere rather than openly display them.

What is indisputable is that displaying any kind of image of an animate being, especially as a portrait hanging on the wall, is totally forbidden and a very big sin.

Something you can do if you are unable to destroy those images is place them on the ground somewhere or conceal them. The point is not to show any kind of deference to the image then no sin will occur. This is based on qiyaas with the Hadith which allows images if they are used in rugs which are stepped on.

What do you mean by “not able to destroy them”? It means, if I simply can’t, then I have to hide it?

[cinnamonrolls1]

It is makruh to pray in a room with pictures.Not haram and just remember that God knows your niyya(intentions)

You are not taking any effect from the verses of the Holy Quraan and /or from the ahadeeth of the Prophet Muhammad salla Allaho alayhi wa sallam. I cannot believe that you are a true Muslim. You are surely a troll. You are a liyar and are trying to deceive Muslims to waste their time.

May Allah guide you to the straight Path of Islam, aameen.

I’m so sorry for this. It won’t happen again this, but seriously, I did not meant to be a troll nor a lier nor someone who deceives others. Sorry again for this mistake. Yes, I am a true Muslim and I can prove it.
