Dog Business

March 20, 2011

Question

Earning money by the dog business is haraam or halaal?

Answer

The forbiddence of selling dogs, as reported in some Ahadith, should not be seen as:

  1. a definite evidence of selling dogs being Haram
  2. a general rule that applies at all times and all cases.

I appreciate that a detailed answer was requested for this question however I believe reading some of the answers already given in the website will provide you with the information and the perspective that leads to the above two statements. Please read the following answers where the issues of dog being dirty or keeping dogs being forbidden are discussed:
