Is he Muslim?

I think that it is cultural from places that also happen to be majority Muslim. I have lived in several middle eastern countries and dogs as pets are not common, and dogs are treated not well.

I was raised a Muslim and my mother was religious (not in a fundamentalist sense) owned 3 dogs. My grandfather owned many. There are thosands of Muslim families in the subcontinent own dogs. I know the whole dogs are not pure thing exist in Muslim communities but I don’t get it where it came from. Probably some mullah got bitten by a dog at some point and issued a fatwa or whatever.

You have to wash yourself before praying if a dog licks you, and you have to pray 5 times a day

You need to report your neighbor to the authorities for animal cruelty.

There were Muslims that used to scream on the top of their lungs when they saw my dog, I am not exaggerating.

So I think that most practicing Muslims are totally against dogs for the sole purpose of being unclean.

I'm a Muslim with a dog, no Muslim that I know would scream at a dog, a lot love dogs, a lot are indifferent, some don't like dogs. These people in your building sound like immigrants - perhaps like the African and Asian immigrants in my building who are scared of my dog, some who scream, some who exaggeradetly avoid him.
It's a cultural/immigrant thing and the fact that in a lot of other countries pets aren't common like in the West, and their only interaction with dogs has been the street dogs who can be dirty and aggressive, so that paints a negative picture of dogs.

No, more like fictional characters

Actually reality and they were Arab. Vita at Tysons. It’s a known thing that they do this. Just spoke to an old neighbor about it today.

I grew up in a Shia Muslim family and used to think dogs were prohibited in the home faith wise. No one I was friends with or related to owned dogs and yeah, we were told they were unclean. Idgaf now as I'm not religious at all anymore.

If you want to get a dog, get a dog. Do you really think that you're going to go to hell because you got a dog?

Don't get a dog. Please don't. You really don't want one and you aren't going to treat it well. Any dog that is going to function as a "guard dog" will be large enough that they will need lots of exercise and space.

A woman, a donkey or a dog can nullify prayers.

https://www.sahih-bukhari.com

Volume 1, Book 9, Number 490 :
Narrated by 'Aisha
The things which annul the prayers were mentioned before me. They said, "Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman (if they pass in front of the praying people)." I said, "You have made us (i.e. women) dogs. I saw the Prophet praying while I used to lie in my bed between him and the Qibla. Whenever I was in need of something, I would slip away. for I disliked to face him."


Of course, when 83% of American Muslims have never heard of Sahih Bukhari, and don't know what a hadith is, canonical authority is no authority.

But if two of your pals from work say it's fine....who else's opinion matters, eh? There's no such thing as radical or moderate Islam. But there certainly are
observant or apostated Muslims.

My husband is Bangladeshi and I have yet to meet a Bangladeshi who owns a dog. They have dirty street dogs and everyone seems to ignore them.

Refute him if you can. Muslims are subject to Islam's canon, which is the Qur'an and the Sunna. The Sunna includes the Sahih hadith, which is where that's from.

Unfortunately, if your uninformed opinion conflicts with the Sunna your opinion is worthless. One can apostasize and believe as Kaffir do, but that doesn't change what Islam's canon says.

And it’s interpreted differently, just like Christianity is. Baptists don’t believe the same stuff as Episcopalians, and so on. Four schools of law in Sunni Islam. Stick to those. Not an internet interpretation of Al Bukhari.

Really, I know many. Though it is hard to keep dogs in the apartments and there are no safe way to walk them that’s why most don’t
