Salam, having a pet isn't haram in Islam. It's ok. But about the dog, It'd be better not to let him in home and lick your skin. Also about birds, It's not good to keep birds as they need freedom to fly. And any other pet, it's ok and give them the care they need. There are 5 prayers in Islam. Don't let those people shake your faith. There are many ahadith prove that it's 5 prayers not three. May Allah enlight your path. Wa Allah a'lam. |

Thank you very much ! As salemun Aleikum ! These people told me that " You must kill black colored dogs , you must kill dogs " . But i don't believe that ! ALLAH MADE ALL OF US ! and DOGS are created by Allah too , we cannot kill any animals becoze Allah created them ... Its not true , yeah ? Is there something about "Killing dogs" in Islam ? |

no nothing in Islam that tells us that. 2
actually there is a hadeeth about a women being rewarded for giving a dog about to die from thirst water we are rewarded for helping these animals not killing them, also their is a hadeeth about a women who will go to hell because she refused to let the cat eat or drink so we are punished for torturing animals there should be no reason to kill a dog because we do not eat them nor are they evil The first hadith you said was of a man not a women. no i belive it was the story with the prostitute Book 54: Beginning of Creation Hadith 538 (Volume 4) Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "A prostitute was forgiven by Allah, because, passing by a panting dog near a well and seeing that the dog was about to die of thirst, she took off her shoe, and tying it with her head-cover she drew out some water for it. So, Allah forgave her because of that." sorry I am not familiar with that story :( thank you. Hahah ... I wanna say something that will make you laugh . In my country one of Shia told me this story ( Narrated Abu Huraira ) but he told me that Hz.Ali did that . But in reality story tells us prostitute did it :)
