Cat VS Dog?

[al yunan]

Please don't be so needlessly rude. I have not been rude to you. You didn't accept what I'd written, and you made the statement that it is generally not accepted in all four madhabs to keep pets. Instead of asking us to go and look it up, please provide the evidence so that we can all learn. That's all I want to do, to learn. Jazaakallah khayr.

Salam sister,

I believe i gave salam.
Farewell

When you get mini ninjas in pair of the opposite sex, and you build large enough cage for them, soon you'll have mini ninjas junior. That's what happened to my cousin's mini ninjas. Granted she built for them large cage, 4x2x2 m.

I would get them in a pair if you have less time to interact with them. If you have job and family commitments, then the budgie might get lonely, especially if it is in a cage all day. I had a budgie but I had plenty of time to play with it. It used to fall asleep on my shoulder and hand, stand on top of my head and watch me play Legend of Zelda whilst sitting on my lap.

I had a "nuri" bird (parrot), we had her since she was a baby, gifted by my dad's colleague from the island of papua. At first we had her in cage, then we freed it from the cage. She was just walking and flying around the house and yard but never flew higher. She used to call me by my name and she was able to say "assalamualaykum" to greet us.
After 6 years, one day she flew away over the back wall. It was a sad day.
She looked like this one:

That would be too hard to look after for me. :skeleton:

I think that is a Scarlet Macaw. These parrots require a lot of attention if kept as a pet in a house. They eat fruit, nut, seeds and nectar. They tend to live for 40-50 years, or more. I would not buy this pet bird, for those living in western countries...

This topic makes me want to read those parrot books which I had when I was little...

[Who Am I?]

Maybe I am going to hell for this, but I've been trying to reconcile my love of dogs with my new love of Islam, and I've decided to keep my dogs. I'm not getting rid of them. This is just something I'm going to have to disagree with.

My dogs are my family now. They are my only companions. I think Allah would understand that.

How many dogs do you have? Are they the large types or small ones who bark a lot? How old are they? how many years have you had them?
If you decide to keep them, please try not to get their saliva on your skin or clothes, because dogs saliva are najis (impure), and you do have to properly wash them before you can even take wudoo for shalah.

I have two dogs. Both are big dogs that stay outside mostly during the day and then come in at night when I go to sleep. They are my companions and protectors.

I have had one since she was a puppy and she is 6 years old now. The other one I got later and she is 7 now. So they are both pretty old dogs now.

They mainly sleep at night and then I feed them and put them back out when I leave for work in the morning.

Salam Mr Just a guy, if you can take a burden of cleaning your dogs, brushing their teeth, bathing and keeping them away from your prayer room, i think you can keep a DOG, I dont know some scholar agree that one can keep a dog, providing that you will ensure cleanliness etc

You know, we must be clean before praying.

Yeah, I always try to do wudu before prayer. I have one room that I have started praying in, and I keep the door closed when I am in there praying. I have a blanket that I put on the floor so I don't kneel on the floor where the dogs have walked.

This issue is a minor one now. I don't really worry about it as much as I used to. I want to worry more about my relationship with Allah and not get caught up in small matters like dogs or marriage.

Salam

Yes I agree.. Allah is the Most Merciful
Inshallah things will be better with you over time and you will be more comfortable

 

[May Ayob]

If you need more information, PM me and I will give you information about keeping parrots and small birds.

Thank you , but i dont think my family will be fascinated with having another member that needs alot of social attention atleast not now.
Thank you

Salaam

Why Some Men Have Dogs And Not Wives:

​

​

1. The later you are, the more excited your dogs are to see you.

​

2. Dogs don't notice if you call them by another dog's name.

​

3. Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on the floor.

​

4. A dog's parents never visit.

​

5. Dogs agree that you have to raise your voice to get your point across.

​

6. You never have to wait for a dog; they're ready to go 24 hours a day.

​

7. Dogs find you amusing when you're drunk..

​

8. Dogs like to go hunting and fishing.

​

9. A dog will not wake you up at night to ask, "If I died, would you get another dog?"

​

10. If a dog has babies, you can put an ad in the paper and give them away.

​

11. A dog will let you put a studded collar on it without calling you a pervert.

​

12. If a dog smells another dog on you, they don't get mad. They just think it's interesting.

​

13. Dogs like to ride in the back of a pickup truck.



And last, but not least:



14. If a dog leaves, it won't take half of your stuff.

To test this theory:
Lock your wife and your dog in the garage for an hour. Then open it and see who's happy to see you.

They are my companions and protectors.

if they guard you then you can keep them cant you?

Maybe I am going to hell for this

dude, dont say that; never say stuff like that, always say good things about yourself and others, because you never know when Allah might accept you dua. and remember, it takes time to get used to different rules and practices that come with Islam. If you remember my other thread about my father not letting me pray, people pretty much told me to have patience, wait it out and in time my parents will understand and let me go. Sooner or later Insha Allah, you will know what to do, dont just automatically assume your going to Hell because you think you might be doing something wrong; at least Allah is in the back of your mind, some people dont even think about Allah when they have a tough decision to make (including myself from time to time). The best you can do is to look at the criteria that allows you to have dogs. If you meet the criteria (which i think you do), then you should be able to keep them!
:wa:

Thanks, bro. I think I am OK. I feel at peace about keeping my dogs. I don't feel like Allah is telling me get rid of them. I have decided not to worry any more about this matter. I have more important things to worry about, like becoming closer to Allah.

Sometimes I find myself falling back into old habits from my Christian days, and I have to stop myself. I'm still learning about Islam every day. Inshallah, I shall continue to learn and grow closer to Him.

Asalaamu Alaikum, Brother you should make intention that you are keeping your dogs as guard dogs in order to protect you and your property. Also you should make every effort t to keep your dogs in your house but you should make them a living space in a shed outside your house in the garden or something. This is because angels do not enter ano home where dogs are present. (Bukhari and Muslim)

You must understand that dogs are not hated in Islam but it is just that firstly they are unclean no matter how many times you clean them because they are inherently impure. Just to clarify though its skin and hair is not filthy but it is its saliva. [Multaqa].

Also there is no doubt that one develops a very close bond with a dog throughout its life and a dog has a relatively short life and when it does eventually die then it can leave a person absolutley devastated like losing a family member.

And Allah knows best in all matters

Salaam, brother.

Yeah, I'm going to fall apart when something happens to these dogs.

I think I'm good now, as I said. I don't feel like Allah is telling me to get rid of the dogs, so I won't worry about it anymore. I will concentrate on getting closer to Allah.

 

[DippedinJannah]

Salaam, brother.

I am very close to my dog.

I was devastated when his predecessor (my earlier dog) died. But I realized that 10 years with him was a gift of Allah (swt). In other words, if you asked me to choose between 10 years with him and no time with him, I would always choose the 10 years. Unfortunately, death is part of the deal - this world is not perfect.

Yes, I think the good experiences you have with your pets outweigh any bad things. Death is a part of this world, and nothing we can do or say will change that. But like you, I would not trade any time I have had with my dogs for anything. They have brought me much laughter at their goofiness and they keep me from being completely alone.

I know that the day will one day come when they will no longer be on this earth (hopefully not for a long while), and I will mourn their passing, but I will always remember the good times we have had.

Asalaamu Alaikum, My Brother whatever Allah wants from us is in the Qur'an and Sunnah. The Sunnah is clear in that dogs must not be kept apart from being kept as guard dogs to protect one's property or as hunting dogs or as shephard dog.

Dogs kept for companionship is highly disliked and the houses in which dogs are kept are not visited by angels. On top of that ones good deeds are reduced for the duration of one keeping a dog for the wrong purposes.

So it is incorrect for you to state that you don't "feel" that Allah is telling you to get rid of your dog because whatever Allah wants from you and me is clearly in the Qur'an and Sunnah and the Sunnah is clear with regards to keeping dogs for companionship. I Just wanted to clarify that point. The rest is upto you...

And Allah knows best in all matters

I like dogs more than cats. I don't like cats that much.
