I understand that they are allowed to keep them but there are too many restrictions...(from my malay frens) Eg: If you are dry, cannot touch wet dog. If the dog is dry & you are dry, can pet dog but if the dog laccidentaly lick you, you are wet & he(the dog) is dry, then this is a big . That is why they have to cleanse with the clay. And as you know, our furkids are an affectionate lot. Very hard not to lick you. If can, they want to lick all over you and drool. That is why they prefer not to keep dogs as it is very troublesome for them to take care. Well, this is what my malay frens say la...Not sure if they are correct. But as far as I understand, it is not haram to touch a dog or love a dog but just some parents feel that it is hard to explain these to their kids (Kids love dogs too) and to avoid problems & simplify things, they tell their kids that they cannot touch & own dogs as pets because it is Haram. After kids grow up, they tell the same thing to their kids and this goes on and on for generations. That is how you get those idiots who never refer to the quran but claim that they are very alim and dogs are haram. In fact, these ppl are the ones that never read the quran. The quran says to treat all animals equally humane and this includes dogs right?
