hadith please....

The site linked by alex enumerated some hadiths. Most said you can kill dogs that are black.
why?
I believe though we should kill dogs only when they pose a threat to life or if they're infected with rabies -and not by their color.

So dogs are Haraam...except guide dogs?

Did they have guide dogs for the blind when the Koran was written? I was under the impression this was a fairly recent phenomenon, and I am always told that the Koran has not been edited or added to since its first appearance...confused. Can someone explain?

Dogs themselves are not considered to be haram. It is the saliva they produce that is considered, in Islam, to be nijis - unpure.

When I used the example of guide dogs, I used it in the sense that that is a justifiable need for someone to keep a dog in the house with them.

Religiously speaking, we are allowed to keep dogs for the following reasons: safety/protection, hunting, herding, farming, or any other dire need. But they must be kept out of the house, unless they are specifically needed for something indoors. I.E, they need to stick with the individual.




Also, Pinoy, the hadith referring to killing a black dog -- as far as I know, that hadith has been said to be a weak hadith. In Islam, we are told not to follow the weak hadith because either the one translating the hadith has been mistaken in its context, or the individual did not personally know of the Prophet Muhammad and his relation to him cannot be determined.

I could not find a strong hadith saying that it is encouraged, or even , permissable to kill a black dog for the simple reason that it is black.


I hope that helps guys.

Bec of Bushra's explanation, I am relieved. Tnx girl

That is true. I have met a few loyal, warm hearted faithful cannines in my time. I have also met some lowdown, scum bucket, unclean humans as well.

Pooches are great. No-one has the right to treat any animal with unkindness or cruelty.
