Ashamed young man looking for repentance

[Kas1m]

This could be a cause of depression. You do things like this for no reason. If your under too much stress. I was a victim of this too but Alhamdulillah i have recovered. More worse if you tell your family and they dont believe.

Dear brother honestly jazak'Allah khair from the bottom of my heart, thank you i mean that, but sister serene simply made it clear to me never to reply to her posts through a harsh message and i am inclined not to, and do as she asked, i have nothig against her but my simple wishes were that i'd expect the same from her. if you leave someone alone no one else has the right to bicker at you, and no it was not general, sister serene was directing that at me. since accordingto her i never have anything constructive to say. fair enough her views but its best if she keeps them to herself.

:salamext:

My post was general, not intended at anyone. I'm sorry if you feel it offended you.

can i ask something... i have heard so many tmes that if you have photos in the housethen angels dont enter the house if you have a dog in the house then angels dont enter the house...

now what i dont understand is this... who records every action every thought every deed or every word we utter or think? In th Qur'an it states angels and also how they are always with us to record. now so does that mean that if a person is at home who has a dog in the house and photos those angels wont come to record his doings and actions cos they cant come in the house?

asalam alaikum wr wb,

The angels assigned for recording our deeds are/have to be with us all the time. If they leave us due to a dog being present, they wouldn't be able to record care/abuse of the animal in the person's care. Therefore these angels do not enter a house separately depending on whether there's a dog there or not, but are with us at all times. The angels who 'enter' houses maybe those who bring Allah's blessings, barakah or to witness the worship of Allah subhana wa ta'ala? Sorry, I do not know details but angels have ranks and are assigned to different tasks by Allah swt.

wa alaikum asalam wr wb

continuing about keeping dogs in the house...

There is nothing wrong with bringing a dog into the house if it is ill/injured to give it the best care possible if it is not possible elsewhere because in Islam necessity dictates exceptions as long as you do not trangress the limits. There's a hadith about a prostitute who was forgiven for showing mercy to a dog in distress and caring for it in her home.


It is keeping a dog as a pet in the home that is prohibited. Dog saliva is najis and one is not able to tell where it might have come in contact with. It is not logical that a muslim should be conscious of cleanliness at all time and purify himself before prayer and then let a dog roam around the place at the same time.


wa alaikum asalam wr wb

Selam aleykum we rahmetallahu, sister Eeman

I will try to explain how I have understood the matter, note though I don't have the qualifications to answer this with proof and such, but thought it would be better to share my personal understanding rather than leaving you there hanging. InshaAllah I'm doing the right thing and if someone has got proof, or further read for you, they will bring them forth, bi'idhnillah.


As you know, there are a great number of angels and of all sorts. The hadith is used in general sense, that no barakah will be in the house were a dog is, which angels bring (barakah) when entering a Muslim house.

"That is a house that is robbed of the angels blessed presence, protection and dua. And when Angels are not there, most likely devils and jinns will find refuge." [source] "Raqeeb and Ateed - the two angels on the right and left shoulder of every person, recording their good and bad deeds are always with us." [source]

They are not something you "summon" when doing something good, as in the sense that angels come to bless.
They (the Kiraman Katibeen, "The Noble Writers"; Raqeeb and Ateed) are always present, so you must see them as exceptions for this hadith.


And if I have said something wrong or false, may Allah subana we ta'ala forgive me and grant me knowledge. Amiin.

we Allahu Aleem.

Correct.

Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them, reported:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture.

Hadith number in Sahih Muslim [Arabic only]: 3929

Furthermore, the question on the permissibility of accommodating dogs whose sole intent is to incite fun & pleasure is answered outright & forthwith by Kamal Badr, a scholar of Islam. “The basic rule in Islam is the permissibility of keeping dogs for hunting and guarding. Still, the exception to the rule is: excessiveness must be avoided as much as possible. The care and concern for human beings should take higher priority over the care of animals, and the reward for that is greater” (Dogs in the House, Reading Islam.com).

With that being said, it warrants housing dogs who're not being kept for purposes other than hunting, farming, protection, &c. if the care given unto them is rationed & prioritized.

To add to this great post, also for example for the blind, deaf, person on a wheelchair or someone suffering from other kinds of illness in which a dog can bring much help, is allowed, inshaAllah. [source]
