It's sunnah to have a cat as a pet. The prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had one.

Actually sis that was something I heard when I was young, and the ruling on cats that Charisma posted doesn't mention it. I could very well be wrong and may Allah forgive for not posting without full knowledge.

Assalamu Alaikum

oh no ekhi dont worry inshallah, The prophet peace be upon him was fond of cats mashallah, im not sure if he had one Allahu a'lem, but i have found this hadith:


Book Number: 2, Hadith Number: 2.3.13
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talha from Humayda bint Abi Ubayda ibn Farwa that her maternal aunt Kabsha bint Kab ibn Malik, who was the wife of the son of Abu Qatada al-Ansari, told her that once Abu Qatada was visiting her and she poured out some water for him to do wudu with. Just then a cat came to drink from it, so he tilted the vessel towards it to let it drink. Kabsha continued, "He saw me looking at him and said, 'Are you surprised, daughter of my brother?' I said, 'Yes.' He replied that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, cats are not impure. They intermingle with you .' "Yahya said that Malik said, "There is no harm in that unless one sees impurities on the cat's mouth."

i will find out if he had one inshallah, ive heard the same thing too :)

We have all heard of the famous hadith narrator "Abu Hurrayrah". The name means "Father of cats", this name was given to Abu Hurrayrah by our beloved prophet (SAW) for the reason that, Abu Hurrarah adored cats. Mash'Allah. There's nothing wrong in keeping cats.

assalamu alaikum,

It is not haram for you to keep either a dog or a cat. The dog can be kept outside as a guard dog.
